This session of the radio show shares our “Talk Franklin” discussion with Town Administrator Jamie Hellen and Deputy Administrator Amy Frigulietti in the Municipal Building on Tuesday, December 17, 2024.  

Our discussion was essentially a review of the 2024 calendar year. While the failed override was significant, Jamie & Amy wanted to highlight some of the other key accomplishments.

Key topics

• Franklin Crisis Action Team (FCAT)
• Community survey
• Community engagement & civil discourse
• Many of the accomplishments are also listed in the mid year summary doc in the Council agenda for 12/18/24

The recording runs about 57 minutes. Let’s listen to this conversation closing out 2024
