A few weeks after announcing his retirement, Cobb commissioner Bob Ott said Tuesday he still plans to have town hall meetings during his final year in office.
Ott said the first of those town halls will be March 17 at the Chestnut Ridge Christian Church in East Cobb, followed by another town hall at the East Cobb Library in April, as well as one more in Smyrna in May.
Ott’s has regularly held town hall meetings since joining the commission in 2009, and at times they’ve become popular and well-attended affairs, especially depending on the subject matter.
He typically updates constituents on what’s happening in the county as well as District 2—which covers most of East Cobb and the Cumberland/Vinings area—then takes questions.
The biggest turnout, he said, was last March, at the Catholic Church of St. Ann, when he invited members of the East Cobb cityhood group to make their debut presentation to the community.
Ott said Tuesday that what he’s calling his “farewell tour”—a bit tongue in cheek—will conclude with a few more town halls in the fall.
