I was very excited to see the drafts. I thought the NCEC members would be equally excited.

Thanks to Council Member Vice President Elizabeth Glidden "News of the 8th Ward" for sharing proposed draft City Vision and Goals,

From newsletter, excerpt,

• "City Council Member Cam Gordon invites you to a Second Ward Community Workshop on February 22 from 9:30am, to 12 noon (presentation at 10) at Augsburg College in the Augsburg Room on the second floor of the Christensen Student Center at 720 22nd Ave S, just off Riverside Avenue on the West Bank. At this workshop you will be able to review a first draft of the recently elected Mayor and City Council’s new 5 years goals and share your thoughts on what the Second Ward Priorities should be for Cam's new term.
