Redmond City Council will launch a new series of neighborhood conversations on April 28. These forums are a casual and convenient way for residents to interact with their elected officials. Each meeting will be held in a different neighborhood venue, and the meetings will be open for residents to direct the topics—whether it’s a neighborhood issue or the vision for the city.

“We are looking for new ways to engage with the community. We see the neighborhood conversation forums as a casual and convenient way for residents and Council to connect,” said Redmond City Council President Hank Margeson.

The first forum will be held in the school gymnasium at Audubon Elementary in the Idylwood neighborhood. Community members can connect with their neighbors and elected officials, learn about city projects and discuss issues that are important to them. The meeting will last from 6:30-7:30 p.m. Council and Mayor John Marchione will answer questions, discuss current projects in the neighborhood and listen to ideas and thoughts from the community.
