A huge thank you to the incredible staff, volunteers, council members and community members who came together to make our city playground a reality. Your hard work, dedication, and teamwork have created a wonderful space for children and families to enjoy. It was inspiring to see so many people working side by side to bring this project together. Our community is stronger because of your efforts, and we are truly grateful for everything you have done. Thank you to the ladies that prepared something for them to eat. We will be back tomorrow finishing the project if you would like to come help. Please remember it is not complete yet so please keep the kids off for now.

Meet Becky Wray, the new City Clerk. She is originally from Mystic and loves being back in the community. She loves seeing all the new faces and meeting people. She spends most of her spare time with her family and loves time with her grandchildren, working in the garden, making things and cooking. She has 2 dogs and several cats. She is still learning the ropes of City Clerk and in a small town like ours, the strength of our community comes from neighbors helping neighbors and people working together toward common goals. Looking forward to a new chapter of service, communication, and collaboration. Come down and say Hi if you haven't already

Good morning Mystic,
This is Forrest Bills. He is our maintenance manager. He has been with the city for over a year. He enjoys working for his hometown and has his water distribution license; He got it on his first try, and I don't think that happens very often. He wants people to understand the water line issues and when there is a break, he tries his hardest to fix it as fast as he can. He lives here too and knows how everyone feels. He has two dogs and loves camping and traveling. He loves a good steak on the smoker and orange juice is his favorite drink. He has several certifications in fire rescue and volunteers for two fire departments. Forrest does a great job in our community and we are lucky to have him. Stop by and say hi!!
