[ARCHIVED] Mayor Kaptain "Listening Sessions" Continue

The next neighborhood walk event originally scheduled for July 21 has been rescheduled for Monday, August 22. Residents of the neighborhood are invited to join representatives from various city departments, along with Mayor Kaptain, in a walk around the neighborhood to discuss issues and opportunities for improvement to the area. The walk will begin at 6:00 p.m. at 991 Deborah Avenue.

The series of “Mayor’s Community Listening Sessions”, which began in June, are scheduled to continue with additional live on-line web chats, community meetings and neighborhood walks each month throughout the remainder of the year.

The purpose of these outreach events is for the mayor and other council members to hear directly from residents on issues, ideas and concerns they would like to share with their city government. These sessions are intended to provide a forum to discuss the important policy issues that will shape the future of our community.
