Discuss Community Conversations 2022
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
Staff will present an additional opportunity for Councilmembers to meet with residents to receive feedback and answer questions on a variety of topics. The proposed event format will build off the last Community Conversations, held on November 8, 2021.
The proposed date is Tuesday, March 29, 2022, which is the fifth Tuesday of March and will not conflict with a Council meeting. The meeting time will be slightly extended to 6:15 - 8 p.m. to allow additional time for questions. We will once again offer a hybrid meeting format including in-person at Redmond City Hall as well as online via Teams meeting. The hybrid format offers options for all community members to participate as they are comfortable.
Councilmembers will be asked if they have any feedback to provide staff on the last Community Conversations event, including what they thought worked well or could be improved upon. Details will be finalized based on staff, community, and Council input received.
