LACT 2022 Annual Conference Trip Report


This week I had the tremendous privilege of attending and representing Sierra Vista at the Annual League of Arizona Cities and Towns (LACT) Conference for a 3rd time. In addition to myself, our Mayor, Rick Mueller, Dr. Councilmember Angelica Landry, Councilmember Rodriguez, and Councilmember Messmer were also in attendance. I thought it was pretty awesome for our newbie council member, Marta Messmer, to jump right in and join us for the state league conference.


Highlights from Wednesday, August 31st:

Parade of Flags

Dr. Angelica Landry was our awesome volunteer this year to represent Sierra Vista in the parade of flags. Hummingbird topper inspired by the Town of Quartzsite having a camel topper.
