Had a productive meeting with Karin yesterday, inviting her to join with us in conversation about what the city council is up to and where they need a little extra push from community activists. She was excited to hear about our citizen articipation groups.
She says she feels good that in this year they have been able to push back at the devlopers and establish real waterway protections and impact fees that mean somethiing. Since I don't live in the city, i will have to trust her on that.
If anyone is interested in forming a citizen participation group around city issues, please let me know.
I told her that in a month or two, we might want to have her talk with our group, to let us understand what the issues are from her point of view, before the city council elections later this year. Her seat is not up for reelection this year, so it would not be a campaign stop.
