Board approves 'City Hall in the Park' permits for three dates this summer
Summary
The board approved permits for a redesigned neighborhood engagement series, 'City Hall in the Park,' on July 28 (Weston Park), Aug. 20 (Roosevelt Park) and Sept. 17 (Walker Park), intended to bring departments and residents together with food trucks and music.
Staff presented a plan to run a redesigned "City Hall in the Park" series that pairs city-department information tables with family-friendly features such as food trucks and live music. The effort, described as a neighborhood engagement evolution of Talk Back Tuesday, was framed as an opportunity for residents to ask questions of city leadership in a more informal setting.
Staff asked the board to approve three dates and locations: July 28 at Weston Park, Aug. 20 at Roosevelt Park, and Sept. 17 at Walker Park. A motion to approve the three-date application was made and carried unanimously. Staff said the format was inspired by the Western Park ribbon cutting and intended to mix official information with community activities to increase participation.
