Safe and Welcoming Community Goal
At a glance
Based on auto-generated captions; names and numbers may be misheard.
- What: wording of the welcoming community goal, whose description reads "create a safe and welcoming environment" but whose short title omits "safe."
- Direction (Oct 8, consensus, no vote): retitle it a safe and welcoming community, and describe it as "maintain and enhance." Mayor Gilbert asked that public safety be called out intentionally.
- Background: members recalled "safe" was deliberately chosen to cover both public safety and people of any background feeling safe; small town character stays in the vision.
- Next: formal adoption with the November 17 package.
