Mayor’s Message

Hello Frostites,

Safe. Thriving. Connected.

This year, I’m focused on making Frost easier to understand and navigate—for residents, businesses, and City staff alike. I’m leading the effort to modernize our ordinances, reviewing the City Code section by section to make the language clear, organized, and written in plain terms so everyone can understand the rules that affect them.

At the same time, our team is improving internal City processes, helping staff work more efficiently and consistently, which means better service for you. I’m also overseeing updates to the City website to make it simpler for Frostites to find the information they need—whether that’s ordinances, forms, meeting details, or City services.

These efforts are about building a transparent, accessible, and forward-thinking Frost. Thank you for your engagement and support as we continue moving our city forward together.

— Mayor Shannon Wayman
