The City of Memphis is improving its communication system so it's easier for citizens to access information.

The city started by launching a new website Tuesday, with an easier navigation system for citizens and visitors to learn about the city.

Shelby County Mayor Mark Luttrell will continue one-on-one sessions with county and city citizens to listen to their suggestions and concerns.

The Mayor has been holding the ten-minute sessions on a monthly basis.  The next session will be Thursday, January 17 at Mayor Luttrell’s office on the 8th floor of the Vasco Smith Administration Building.

“These meetings give me the opportunity to speak personally with citizens about their ideas and ways we can improve Shelby County Government,” said Luttrell.
