Meeting the Dodge City Commission

The delegation from Offerton had the privilige of meeting with the City of Dodge City Commission for breakfast at 8am on Friday morning. Additionally, the heads of the various departments in Dodge City were also at the meeting which allowed for a detailed discussion to take place about the differing challenges and priorities for our two communities. It was reassuring to note that in many respects we held the same concerns and we shared our methods for tackling the problems in our communities.

Also at the meeting, the Offerton delegation presented the City with a commemorative 'Dodge Fold' street sign which signifies the long and historic links between our the two communities and the hope for a long-lasting productive relationship in the future.
