In his most recent Ward Two newsletter, Gordon invites his constituents to discuss the Community Engagement Task Force’s recently drafted report at his monthly roundtable on Monday, Oct. 15, as well as at one of three public meetings later in the week.

The 21-page report, available on the city’s website, “includes principles, recommendations, and characteristics of organizations that are eligible to receive city resources for activities related to engaging the public,” states the newsletter.

An earlier draft of the report went through a public comments period this past spring. After the public comments from this round are incorporated, the final report will head to the City Council and mayor in mid-November.

The Gordon roundtable will take place from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Augsburg College Christensen Center, Minneapolis Room, 2nd Floor, 22nd Avenue South & 7 ½ Street.

The other remaining meetings throughout the city are as follows:

• Tuesday, Oct. 16, 11 a.m.–1 p.m. (open house format)
Central Library Board Room
300 Nicollet Mall

• Wednesday, Oct. 17, 6–8 p.m.
Nokomis Park Recreation Center gymnasium
2401 E. Minnehaha Parkway

• Thursday, Oct. 18, 5:30–7:30 p.m.
MLK Park Recreation Center multipurpose room
4055 Nicollet Ave. S.

After the community forums, the task force will incorporate the community’s input into the final report, which goes to the City Council and mayor in mid-November.
