Mayor Andrew “FoFo” Gilich will deliver his State of the City presentation today, to a luncheon and online audience, and to cable TV audiences the rest of the week.
The occasion marks Gilich’s third State of the City address since being elected in a special election in 2015, but his first since beginning his first full term more than six months ago.

The mayor’s presentation will be on the city’s website later this afternoon and will be shown to Cable One audiences on Cable Channel 69, at the top of every hour, from Wednesday at 1 p.m. through Friday at 1 p.m.
