What Work Groups Do
Neighborhoods 2020 work teams will compile recommendations for the Minneapolis City Council that envision the next phase of Minneapolis’ neighborhood programming. The revised programming should reflect changes in the city’s population diversity and demographics. The work teams will also look at advisory board structure and city-wide engagement policy.
From July to September, groups will develop policy, and from September through November, they will solicit public comment on their drafts. The work team will include the following three work groups:
- Program Guidelines, Funding and Implementation (16 voting members)
- Governance Advisory Structure for Neighborhood and Community Engagement (17 voting members)
- Citywide Community Engagement Policy (16 voting members)
Meeting times will be set according to the availability of work team members. The time commitment is estimated as 6 hours per month
