(Atlantic, Iowa) – After you head to the polls, Tuesday, if you reside in Atlantic’s 4th Ward, you can come to the Venue (at 307 Walnut Street), in downtown Atlantic, to partake in a “Meet & Greet” event with Councilman Shawn Sarsfield, who was elected to the seat last November. The event takes place from 6-until 7-:30-p.m., Tuesday. Sarsfield told KJAN while he specifically hopes to meet with his 4th Ward constituents, all residents of Atlantic are welcome to come and share their concerns and ask questions.

Sarsfield says taking a seat on the City Council in January has been a great learning experience and he’s still learning. He said he decided to run after sharing hours of involvement in many community events.

At-Large Atlantic City Councilpersons Elaine Otte and Gerald Brink will be in attendance at Tuesday’s Meet & Greet.

Sarsfield says he welcomes people’s opinions on the issues, provided they are expressed in a civil and respectable way.

In addition to the “Meet& Greet,” Sarsfield invites the citizens of Atlantic to attend a City Council meeting, so they can see the process, and have a better understanding of how things work.

Councilman Sean Sarsfield after the meeting, he’ll review his notes, and comment cards from those who fill them out, and then follow-up on their thoughts and concerns, if they leave their contact information.
