(KAIR)--Atchison residents have the chance to voice their concerns and questions to a city leader during a special open forum this Friday.

“Obviously I've seen my colleagues do events like this,” said Atchison City Manager Trey Cocking. “I just think it's a good opportunity for the community to come out and be able to ask questions and hear what's going on in their community.”

He will host Coffee with the City Manager at 10:00 Friday morning in the Commission Room at Atchison City Hall.

“It's always number one to hear what the current concerns of the community are—especially if it's in the realm of that we can do something with. Item number two, is to share our thought processes with people. It's an opportunity for people to get the why.”

The format will be open question and answer session and all are welcome to attend.
