“Active Engagement” By City Council

Much of the work of Cumberland’s City Council goes unseen by the public and when votes are taken in public meetings, it could be assumed that it’s merely a formality to rubberstamp city business.  To Mayor Ray Morriss, it’s more than showing up for a vote. He says he enjoys working with a city council that is actively engaged in the business of Cumberland…

“You know, they say well, they just show up and vote on it. No, we’ve been having discussions with Mr. Silka or directly with Bobby Smith or Devin Burke about what work they have planned and the cost of things. So, all that work is being done behind the scenes by the mayor and city council.”
