The Santa Fe Governing Body meeting on September 11 highlighted key community engagement initiatives, particularly focusing on a living wage event and ranked choice voting education.

City Clerk officials announced a living wage community engagement event scheduled for September 15 and 16. The first session will take place at the Southside Library, featuring childcare services for school-aged children, while the second will be a remote webinar. This initiative aims to gather public input on living wage issues, with marketing efforts underway to boost participation.

In addition, the city is preparing for ranked choice voting, with a series of educational seminars planned across various locations. These sessions will occur from September 29 to October 9, designed to inform residents about the new voting process. Information will also be disseminated through utility billing and the city’s website.

The meeting also included a reminder of the September 11 remembrance event at the plaza, emphasizing the city's commitment to honoring significant community moments.

These initiatives reflect Santa Fe's ongoing efforts to engage residents in important civic discussions and ensure informed participation in upcoming elections.
