I can't attend due to child care issues. It'd be nice if the forum included a virtual component for folks who can't get
out. However, I'd like my input to be included however it can be:
1. I'd like to see a park prioritized in the Margarita neighborhood. I know there are long term plans for one, but the
neighborhood demographics have shifted recently and there are quite a few young kids around here, who will probably
graduate before the planned park is built.
Even a small pocket park with a swing soon would be something. Perhaps reuse one of the dead end streets along
Margarita?
2. Lack of childcare in the City is an issue. The City has the means to do something about it, via incentives or by
expanding existing programs.
3. Embrace a housing first policy re: homelessness.
4. Work towards better employee retention. I know I'm biased on this one (and it's a bit late in my particular case), but
the small stuff matters. Little things like regular potlucks or birthday celebrations, and small perks (like bike loans or
finding a better vision insurance instead of the horrible one we just switched to) go a long way towards showing folks
you care.
Thanks,
Jason Dornish
