How To Present Citizen Concerns To The Park Board
THE BASICS: Park Board meetings are on the first and third Wednesdays of each month. They begin at 5:00 p.m. with Open Time at 5:30 p.m.
If you want to speak during Open Time, you need to call the Park Board (612-230-6400) before the meeting to sign up. It's best to call on Monday or Tuesday prior to the meeting, but no later than 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday. If only a few people are signed up, then you will probably have three minutes to speak. Having a prepared statement to refer to is helpful. When you are through speaking, the Park Board president will refer your question or concern to a staff member. It's a good idea to have a copy of your concern to give to Don Sigglekow, Park Board secretary.
