Mayor's Night Out, and some other news.

From 2nd District Councilperson, Karen Goldner:

First of all, congratulations to Sally McFadden, secretary of the Frances Slocum Neighborhood, whose nephew, David Boudia, will be representing the United States in next month's Olympics! David is a diver who set a US record on his way to qualifying for the Olympics. David lives in Noblesville and trains at the Natatorium in Indianapolis. All of us aunts and uncles will know Sally's pride in the accomplishments of her nephew. Go, David!

Second, remember that Monday, September 15 will be the next 2nd District Community Meeting. This one will be at Shoaff Park (Conklin Pavillion), 7 p.m. The speaker will be from City Utilities about our Combined Sewer Overflow Long Term Control Plan (short story: we need to clean up the rivers and it will cost us more in sewer rates over the next 18 years), but as always the point of the meeting is for you to come and share any thoughts or concerns you have. We'll be in the middle of budgeting by then so we'll have a better idea of what types of budget cuts will be happening for 2009.

And last but not least.....
NEXT MAYOR’S NIGHT IN JULY 30
Meetings with Henry on 9th floor of City-County Building

Fort Wayne, Ind. – Mayor Tom Henry will hold the second Mayor’s Night In of his administration from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. July 30 at the City-County Building.

The public is invited to schedule an appointment to meet with the Mayor in his office on the 9th floor to discuss any concerns about City government or services.

“Openness and accessibility to City leadership is a hallmark of my administration,” Mayor Henry said. “I enjoy talking to our citizens and listening directly to their concerns. Hosting Mayor’s Night In is an opportunity for Fort Wayne residents to talk directly to the mayor of the second largest city in Indiana.”

Fort Wayne residents can call the Mayor’s Public Information Office at 427-1120 to schedule a 10-minute block of time that evening to meet with the Mayor and members of his staff. Times will be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. Although walk-ins are welcome, appointments will ensure time with the Mayor.
