City/council update — July 1 welcome for new City Manager Brian Kenner

Neighbors, please join the city council in welcoming Takoma Park’s new city manager, Brian Kenner, at a Monday, July 1 dessert reception at the community center, 6:45 pm – 7:25 pm.

The July 1 council meeting agenda includes “Discussion of Safe Roadways Committee/Residential Streetscape Task Force,” which is to say, the possibility of repurposing Safe Roadways Committee to include broader streets responsibilities. That’s a worksession discussion, involving council and staff only, scheduled to begin at 9:40 pm.

The council will also discuss state legislative advocacy for the 2014 legislative season, which runs January-April next year, preceding which, scheduled for 8:55 pm, we have an update from the Committee on the Environment.

Finally, my next Ward 1 councilmember drop-in office time is Wednesday, June 26, 8 am – 9 am at 7006 Carroll Avenue #202. Just come by, or contact me to make an appointment if you want to be sure of private discussion time.
