"The take-away from the meetings was that we really saw people sitting down and saying that this could be a goal... Having a local government would give you the ability to identify priorities for Germantown and to have a team dedicated to fulfilling those priorities... What we don't have right now is an ability to say, 'Here's what Germantown needs'... If you had a mayor or a small council or even a city manager who could carry that ball every day, that would help."
