City Council Considers Protection for our Park
April 25, 2022
At the next City Council Meeting, this Wednesday, April 27th, Joe Moore will make a presentation about Council Initiatives. Included in this list is the following:
What does this mean?
We all know that the process used in 2020 to advance the Alternative Masterplan was flawed. Citizens did not like what was proposed in Lakeside Park for a large variety of reasons. We were shut out from the decision making process by our elected representatives. We need to prevent this from ever happening again in our city.
It is possible to pass an ordinance that requires citizen input in the form of a referendum or at least makes that avenue available to the citizens. The 920 petition process that took place in 2020 would have enacted an ordinance that would have forced a referendum under certain circumstances.
As the bullet point says, “the legal research and the course of action development are prepared.” We are thrilled to see the Council working on a protection that the citizens tried to enact in 2020. We welcome open and detailed discussion on how to move forward and give our citizens a voice in what happens in our park.
