Warner Robins Council Retreat Begins | News

Warner Robins Mayor Chuck Shaheen opened the first day of a two day council retreat at the Hilton Garden Inn on Willie Lee Parkway.

City department leaders, council members and guest speakers gathered for the meeting.

During his opening speech, Shaheen said, "My feet are not set in concrete for anything in the city. The only thing I am sure about is salvation through grace."

Shaheen read a passage from the Bible to start the meeting and asked a city employee to say a prayer. Then, he ran down a list of accomplishments during his administration. He also talked about goals for the future, including building the law enforcement center, using vehicles powered with natural gas, and renaming Front Street to Armed Forces Boulevard.

The agenda says guest speakers will talk about building relationships and dealing with the media this afternoon. The talk includes a speech called,"Would you talk that way in front of your Grandmother?".

City Department leaders will make presentations tomorrow.

Commander of the Warner Robins Air Logistics Center General Robert McMahon will speak to the group Saturday.
