City officials visiting area schools during Florida City Government Week has become a tradition in recent years. The visits provide an opportunity for city leaders and students to meet creating an opportunity to put a spotlight on the significant role local government has in everyday lives.
City Government Week is simply a time for the community to be mindful that municipal government is the level of government that has the most impact on its constituency’s quality of daily life, and to emphasize that municipal is the most accessible of all levels of government.
Florida City Government Week is a program sponsored by the Florida League of Cities. For more information visit www.floridaleagueofcities.com.

On Tuesday, September 11, the City of St. Augustine will continue the annual tradition of holding its Ceremony of Remembrance, a community gathering to remember those who died in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.
The ceremony will be held at the St. Augustine Fire Department’s main station, 101 Malaga Street, on Tuesday, September 11 at 8:30am. The public is invited and encouraged to participate in the community ceremony.
The city’s first Ceremony of Remembrance was held just two days after 9/11 and has continued each year on the anniversary of the attack. As in the past, the brief program will include a presentation of the colors by the St. Augustine Police Department Honor Guard, an invocation and musical presentations as well a brief remarks from city officials.

The ceremony will conclude with a minute of silence at 8:45am, timed to coincide with the time the first plane hit the first tower of the World Trade Center in 2001. Then after the Fire Department’s historic 1906 fire bell rings 11 times, once for each year since 9/11, the ceremony ends with the playing of Taps.
