The Redmond City Council will host its second Neighborhood Conversation May 23.

The forum will be held in the Redmond Elementary School gymnasium in the Downtown neighborhood. There will be a reception at 6 p.m., and the meeting will last from 6:30–7:30 p.m. Community members can connect with their neighbors and elected officials, learn about city projects and write down questions for council. The mayor and council will answer questions, discuss current projects in the neighborhood and listen to ideas and thoughts from the community.

These forums are a casual and convenient way for residents to interact with their elected officials.

“We were delighted that so many people came to connect at our first Neighborhood Conversation forum,” said Redmond City Council President Hank Margeson. “As we look for new ways to engage with the community, folks are eager to share and learn more about a variety of topics important to their neighborhood.”

A roomful of people attended the inaugural Neighborhood Conversation April 28 at Audubon Elementary. The meeting was entirely focused on questions from the residents and included everything from transportation and school overcrowding to housing and zoning issues.
