Under the bright lights of McKinney's city hall, council members gathered to discuss the latest developments in their community, focusing on enhancing communication with residents. City Manager Paul Graham took the floor, highlighting a new initiative from the communications and marketing department aimed at making council meeting summaries more accessible to the public.

Graham introduced a fresh format for the city’s Facebook page, "Unique by Nature," which will provide concise updates on council discussions and decisions. This initiative is designed to ensure that residents can easily grasp the topics covered during meetings and understand the actions taken on their behalf. The feedback on this new approach has been overwhelmingly positive, reflecting the city’s commitment to transparency and engagement.

In addition to the new communication strategy, Graham proudly announced that the city had once again excelled at the Texas Association of Municipal Information Officers (TAMEO) annual conference held in Fort Worth. McKinney brought home an impressive 11 awards, showcasing the city’s dedication to effective public information and marketing efforts.

As the meeting progressed, it became clear that the council is not only focused on governance but also on fostering a strong connection with the community. With innovative communication strategies and recognition for their efforts, McKinney is poised to keep its residents informed and engaged in the city's ongoing developments.
