PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT LISTENING SESSION:
This meeting date is reserved explicitly for conducting a public listening session and hearing testimony from citizens. The task force welcomes and encourages public input into its work. In particular, the task force would like to hear public testimony regarding the governance structure of the Metropolitan Council, including input into whether the Metropolitan Council's board should remain solely governor-appointed or whether other options such as an elected board or council of governments (COG) structure should be considered instead.
The meeting will take place in dual locations, both in Room G-23 at the State Capitol and at the Amherst H. Wilder Foundation, located at 451 Lexington Parkway North, Saint Paul, MN. 55104. There is a free parking structure at the Wilder Foundation if attendees wish to drive. Alternatively, the Wilder Foundation is just a short walk from the Lexington Pkwy stop on the Metro Green Line.
If you would like to provide testimony to the task force, please join us at the Wilder Foundation at 2:00 pm. Public testimony will be taken at the Wilder Foundation only, not at the Capitol. If you would like to speak at the meeting to provide testimony, please fill out this RSVP Form. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Taylor Koehler at taylor.koehler@lcc.mn.gov. Those who do not sign up in advance may still be able to speak at the meeting if time permits. Even if you don't wish to speak yourself, the task force still welcomes your attendance and engagement!
