AGENDA
|
Roundtable
on impacts of the new system for electing City Councilmembers by district;
Also: Mountain bikes for the
Cheasty greenbelt?
In November, Seattle voters passed a charter amendment changing seven of the nine at-large City Council districts to geographic districts (http://www.seattle.gov/leg/clerk/districtmap). How is this new electoral system changing Seattle politics and government? Please engage with a roundtable of speakers (including Toby Thaler, attorney and Fremont resident) who were involved in the successful initiative effort and who are watching voters and potential candidates as well as City agencies. We will also distribute and discuss an April 8 City Auditor report, “Research on How Similar Cities Operate Their District Election Systems.”
Also on the agenda will be a presentation from some Beacon
Hill residents who are concerned about proposals for a mountain bike park in
the Cheasty Natural Area Greenspace on east Beacon Hill between New Rainier
Vista on the east and Cheasty Boulevard on the west.
The April meeting will also include our monthly Round Robin
of issues in your neighborhood. If
you have informational materials you would like distributed at the meeting,
please email electronic copies or links to Jeannie Hale at jeannieh@serv.net.
