Join Councilman Doug Conner on Tuesday, February 15, 2011 for February’s 9th District Community Meeting.

DATE:
Tuesday, February 15, 2011

LOCATION:
Southside Baptist Christian School
5515 Bryce Lane (Off Hull Street Road)
Richmond, VA 23224

MEETING AGENDA:
5:00pm-6:30pm – Report from Richmond Police Department; Mayor’s Participation and Communication Corps (MPACC)
6:30pm-7:00pm – 9th District Community Dinner

Concerning the meeting’s major topic of discussion (Mayor’s Participation and Communication Corps) below is a statement from the City of Richmond about the Mayor’s initiative to improve communications between neighborhoods and the City.

Dear Community Leader:

As you are aware, the Mayor is dedicated to collaboration, communication and cooperation between Richmond ’s citizens and his administration.  Mayor Jones knows that citizens expect and deserve a responsive government.

Many of you may know about the old “neighborhood teams” process. In an effort to improve upon service delivery and include residents and business owners in the decisions that affect them, Mayor Jones has created the Mayor’s Participation and Communication Corps (MPACC). MPACC is an integral enhancement to the sharing of information and increased community involvement.

MPACC has two major components:

1)       Proactive, service driven initiatives including but not limited to matters relating to land use, public safety, parks and recreation, all of which will strive to improve services and conditions; and

2)       Rapid, courteous responses to your requests for services such as fixing potholes, removing abandoned cars, addressing blighted properties, and cleaning up illegal dump sites.

To make sure services are close to you, MPACC has been organized around the four Richmond Police Department Precinct structure. Each sector within a precinct will have a MPACC Sector Team. Mayor Jones has selected co-chairs from each sector to lead these MPACC Sector teams.
