Great Meeting today with Shorewood Staff

Had a great meeting today with our fantastic city staff!!! We discussed many different things: things that are going well, things we can improve upon, internal and external factors that affect the way things work, and learned a ton about our city!

This truly is a great place to live and will continue to improve if we keep up these forward-thinking meetings.

Trail Committee

we need people interested in the trail concept for shorewood. this will be a multi-level process using old plans, creating new plans and listening to residents.

please let me or brian heck, city administrator, know if you want to join us!

a month into it!

hello shorewood!  well, it's been a month - 2 regular meetings, 2 executive sessions, 2 park commissions, 1 joint cities meeting with Excelsior and Tonka Bay to discuss collaboration, and numerous meetings with staff to learn about the INSIDE workings of our city.

I have learned a lot, needless to say.

I hope you will join us at the next visioning meeting, thursday, feb 24 at 6:30 at Southshore Center with members of the other city councils, mayors and staff.  Your voice is valuable and we want to hear it!!!

The city of shorewood is a great place, with great staff, and I look forward to the many months ahead!
