COMMUNITY CALL TO ACTION FORUM SUCCESS AND CONTINUED EFFORT

Our October 12 Call to Action meeting was a success by all measures. The meeting was designed to identify actionable items that the community is passionate about.

Our facilitators were successful in leading those who attended through a unique consensus-building process to identify four action items. The sixty-nine meeting participants reached a consensus on these next steps for improving our community:

1. Revitalization of existing properties

2. Public transit feasibility study

3. A sustainability and resiliency task force to prepare for climate change

4. An exploration of new within-the-city housing options

Forty-three meeting participants signed up to work on one or more action teams. Any community member is welcome to join a team to support progress on one of the four goals.

The Call to Action teams which formed out of our October 12 meeting are getting together on a regular basis. The teams are:

• New Housing Action Team

• Housing Revitalization Team

• Transportation and Mobility Action Team

• CAN (Climate Action Network) Team
