Neighborhood associations have been one of the most effective engagement <br />tools for community dialogue. These are organized and structured entities that allow a point of contact <br />for a larger neighborhood. We will use these associations to gather ideas on how to best engage their <br />members and discuss ideas and alternatives. <br />Happy Days Committee. The Happy Days Committee plans and implements our largest annual celebration <br />each September. This is the community's best opportunity to connect with its residents. We will use this <br />committee to develop plans for 'pop-up' meetings and plan to maximize our investment in using this event <br />to explore input on key policy initiatives. <br />Spring Business Expo Committee. Similar to Happy Days, the Spring Business Expo is the second largest <br />Annual Event for the community. This committee will be used similar to the Happy Days Committee. <br />Ramsey Foundation/The Draw Summer Event Series. The Ramsey Foundation plans and executes a <br />weekly community event (Farmer's Market and Community Concert) in the summer months. Similar to <br />the Happy Days and Spring Business Expo events, this is a key opportunity to connect with our residents <br />in a meaningful manner. The City desires to maximize this event for public participation. <br />Continued on Next Page. <br />It is our mission to work together to responsibly grow our community, and to provide quality, cost-effective and efficient government services. <br />
