Town Meetings - A Medley

Residents are invited to come out Tuesday for the Fourth Ward Town Meeting, a chance to let City Council members hear your concerns. Although the location is in the Fourth Ward and residents there are especially encouraged to attend, the meeting is open to all.

4th WARD TOWN HALL MEETING

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2015

FROM 7:00 P.M. – 9:00 P.M.

 CLINTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
1302 WEST FOURTH STREET.

THIS IS AN OPEN FORUM FOR RESIDENTS TO SHARE THEIR CONCERNS.

ALL ARE ENCOURAGED TO COME OUT AND PARTICIPATE!

Here's a report on the 2013 Fourth Ward Town Meeting.

The only Town Meeting I recall in 2014 was the "emergency"one on Liberty Village. Besides my report at the preceding link, you can also see David Rutherford's Liberty Village video that he posted on YouTube.

Earlier this year, Mayor Adrian O. Mapp held a Town Meeting that featured awards to community leaders and remarks from his cabinet members.

Years ago, the City Council also scheduled meetings called "working conferences" with emphasis on one topic such as public safety. Here is a blog post from 2006 on a working conference on public safety.

The concept was dropped for a time, but emerged in 2009 as a "working session" on the PMUA. And here is a report on that meeting.

  1. Less than 25 people at the 2013 meeting and only 2 comments on your blog. What a difference a few years make! Looking forward to Tuesday's meeting and encouraging everyone I know in the city to attend.
