[Vision2020] Community Conversations Monday October 8NoonNEIGHBORHOOD PLANNING ORGANIZATIONS

[Tom Hansen]

I wouldn't expect an apology, or even an explanation (for that matter), Sue.

 

I suspect that Arnie will soon accuse Linda Pall of organizing Moscow's
Al-Qaeda sleeper cell during her lunch hour in conjunction with Sunil,
Arnie's suspected ring leader of a local branch of a national network of
terrorist defense attorneys.

 

I mean . . . Look at it realistically, Sue.

 

The insurgency in Iraq mounting a larger and further reaching offensive
posture just as Linda Pall is promoting "October Community Conversations"
during her reelection campaign as the senior member of Moscow's City
Council.  Coincidence?  I wonder.  And don't even get Arnie started on those
subliminal Al-Qaeda messages buried deep in Ms. Pall's Fourth of July
speeches at Friendship Square

 

Seeya round town, Moscow.

OK Donovan, I'm looking for your apology to Linda or at least a "thank you"
for her use of her lunch hour to hold these meetings that otherwise wouldn't
occur.  Haven't seen it yet, but it's still early in the day.

Donovan,

These aren't town hall meetings.  Linda Pall volunteers her time to hold
"community conversations" during her lunch hour.  They are for open
conversation on topics.  Sometimes philosophical in nature other times
informative and sometimes intellectual enlightenment.  They are not
necessarily meant for developing policy.  Think of it as a group of people
sitting around the dinner table having a discussion while having lunch.

Linda,

 

My suggestion for improving community participation is that you not have
town hall meetings when 95% of the community is at work. Try a time when
people are not working, like in the evenings. 

 

Best,

 

Donovan

Dear Visionaries,

 

Please join us for a discussion of a strategy for improving citizen

October Community Conversations!!!

What about Neighborhood Planning Organizations?

Monday, October 8 from noon to 1 P.M.

Centennial Room, University Inn

EVERYONE IS WELCOME!

Join us from noon to 1 PM MONDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2007, to talk about citizen
participation and planning for Moscow neighborhoods (no host lunch
available. set prices this time for either sandwiches or salad at the
University Inn/Best Western; lunch is not mandatory!).

We'll be taking a look at Moscow's FIRST experiment in neighborhood planning
from 1979-83 with the Fort Russell Neighborhood Planning Organization and
considering how 21st Century Moscow could benefit from a neighborhood
planning structure. Could planning decisions reflect neighbor concerns and
creative, profitable development opportunities? Could citizens make their
voices heard at a time when it mattered to the decision-making? Could local
officials, elected and appointed, be held accountable for positive,
productive outcomes for our community's future? Neighborhood planning
organizations in other communities have made a difference in many other
towns across the nation and especially in the Northwest.

Learn about neighborhood planning organizations and share your views. More
information or questions, contact Linda Pall, Moscow City Council, 882-7255
or lpall at moscow.com
