Council to staff ‘cookie shifts’ at block party as attendance grows
Summary
Staff told council the block party has grown from about 600 to roughly 900 attendees and proposed that council members take short shifts at an information/meet-and-greet station; staff will circulate a SignUp Genius for slots and asked for volunteers to help with crowding and outreach.
City staff described logistics for an upcoming block party and proposed a new format where council members take short, dedicated shifts at an information/meet-and-greet table so residents can engage council members without being stalled in the food line. "We're going from serving 600 people to serving 900 people," staff said, noting the event now requires more behind-the-scenes staff and a sign-up system to allocate council times.
Council members responded with practical questions about whether moving grab-and-go items would significantly speed lines and whether the city has adequate staffing; staff said they will send a SignUp Genius so council can reserve cookie-shift slots and help manage community engagement.
