Re: September 16th Neighborhood Leader Event Final Report
First, a belated thank you for the time you contributed in September to discuss and imagine Portland's future. The City of Portland is growing and changing and as it does, the City leadership values community input and direction. The three projects that hosted the Neighborhood Leader Event are all led by community members:
1) visionPDX: creating a 20 year vision for the City of Portland.
2) Community Connect: redefining the community's role to more effectively connect all Portlanders to government .
3) Charter Review Commission: reviewing the city's form of government and other important aspects of the Charter (PDC, Civil Service).
Fellow Portlanders have spent the last year conducting outreach, building recommendations and listening to their colleagues and neighbors. You have been a part of the voices that have contributed insights and reflections for the City's future.
In 2007, all three projects will be completing their work-a new vision for the City will be proposed, revisions to the City's Charter will be recommended and new models for civic engagement will be developed. To monitor the progress of each, see:

While the projects continue, we'll do our best to keep the website updated and reports available to the public. visionPDX will be updating the public in February-what did they hear and what are ideas for the future? Community Connect will be developing initial recommendations for comment from the general public and a variety of stakeholder groups. Charter Review Commission will present their recommendations to Council in early 2007.
We respect the input you've provided for all projects. We know it often takes time to see the value of your input reflected in recommendations and change. That said; please know we are grateful for your participation. You'll read your comments and the summary ideas from participants in the attached report. Each volunteer and project team (visionPDX, Community Connect, and Charter Review) will receive or has received the report, and it will help inform their outcomes. you may also find the report at http://www.portlandonline.com/shared/cfm/image.cfm?id=142480.
Again, our sincere thanks. Your ongoing interest and participation are valued. If you have questions/comments, please contact: Liesl Wendt, 503.823.4426, lwendt@ci.portland.or.us.
Have a happy holiday season.
