City Assembly April 25 at Centennial Hall
Members of the City Assembly will convene a citywide town hall meeting on Sat., April 25.
The Capital City Forum, which will be held from 9 a.m. to noon at Centennial Hall, is an effort to gather ideas to improve and enhance Juneau’s service to the state and to complement the ongoing work of the Alaska Committee, a board consisting of citizen volunteers.
“The Alaska Committee is primarily a strategic planning entity and, by itself, can only do so much. In reaching out to our community, we have an opportunity to harness the energy of our residents in making Juneau a better place to live and take advantage of their pride in serving as hosts of Alaska’s government,” Botelho stated.
According to Botelho, the idea for the Forum was, in part, a result of the Alaska Committee’s annual meeting held earlier this year. “Many in attendance at the meeting expressed a desire to get more involved in bettering Juneau and advocating for it through individual networks statewide. Both the Assembly and the Alaska Committee recognized that a public forum would encourage people who are unable to attend regular board or assembly meetings to step forward to share their ideas with each other and their elected representatives.”
For more information about the Capital City Forum, contact Mayor Bruce
Botelho at 586-5240 or by e-mail at mayor@ci.juneau.ak.us.
