“I plan to give a progress update on my team’s 100-day plan, highlight some successes, and focus on what’s next for the City of Akron,” Malik said. “This event is really about the people of Akron and it’s important to me that our residents have the opportunity to attend at no cost to them. This will be an evening of community and fellowship and I invite everyone to attend including residents, businesses, non-profits, community partners, and beyond.”
Since stepping into office earlier this year, Malik said safety has been his top priority, and he said this message is clear after Akron City Council unanimously passed a $815 million operating budget on Monday.
