Citizen Engagement efforts receive National Attention
Ever wonder how Montgomery matches up with other cities in getting residents involved? “The City of Montgomery provides a wide range of citizen engagement activities; none of the 29 municipalities (nationwide) surveyed matched the City’s efforts in this area.” So began the findings of the leadership team of the International City and County Managers Association. This group consisting of city managers and senior staff from Nebraska, Tennessee, Georgia and California traveled to Montgomery in April, May and June to review the City’s citizen engagement activities, compare these efforts with other cities nationwide, meet with a sampling of residents and recommend next steps to further our work in this area.

New community-based website launched
Leaders from various community groups have come together to identify and discuss communication issues and organization challenges, and create links between groups that could expand the capabilities of each through a network of support.

August’s Open City Hall Topic:
Being nosy... or should you know?
Do you know your neighbors? Would you know if something is amiss? Is it your business?
Summertime brings a lot of residents outdoors. Neighborhoods can be places full of folks in their yard, walking, bicycling, etc. But, studies reveal that most people don’t even know half of their neighbors. What if a neighbor was in jeopardy? If a neighbor became ill, had fallen or worse, would you recognize that something “just isn’t right”? Would you respond? If yes, how? Or, is it really your business?
So, please, share your opinion with us.
