2 - Alders hold city budget listening session, this Sat. Sept. 9, 10 a.m, Sequoya Library
           from Alder Maurice Cheeks
Hello Neighbors,
Alder Mark Phair and I (and other Council colleagues) will be holding budget listening sessions in our districts again this fall. We want to hear from you on your priorities for the short, medium & long term future of the city!
There’s one listening session left, on Saturday morning, September 9, 10:00 am @ Sequoya Library.
 
This year we have attempted to frame the discussions around the importance of Safety, Equity and Opportunity for our city’s future.  That framework is outlined in this link: http://www.cityofmadison.com/news/alders-cheeks-and-phair-schedule-2018-budget-listening-sessions

3 - Can You Help Your Neighborhood Have a Voice?  Council members needed in October.

The Dunn’s Marsh Neighborhood Association (DMNA) will be in desperate need of volunteers to serve on the Neighborhood Council starting this October when new Council members are elected at the annual meeting.  That meeting will probably be held on Thursday, October 26, starting at 6:00 pm, at Prairie UU Society, 2010 Whenona Drive.
 
A poll of current members revealed that most Council members will be leaving their positions.  These include those who have the most years of experience and need to go on to other things in their lives.  If new volunteers don’t step up at the annual meeting, the DMNA may go dormant. That would be a shame and would leave the neighborhood with no organizational voice.  Lack of that voice leaves a neighborhood open to the whims of chance, and without a regularly meeting Council, often no influence at all because residents only find out about things after they are a done deal.
 
New blood is always welcome even without a large number of vacancies on the Council.
 
If you are thinking you could step up, long-time Council member Mary Mullen would be happy to talk to you about what it means to be a member of the Council.  Contact her by phone or email.  (See masthead.)  Information about the DMNA including bylaws is available on the DMNA website, www.dunnsmarsh.org <http://www.dunnsmarsh.org>   
 
The most important thing to know is that the Dunn’s Marsh Neighborhood Association has two simple purposes:
1. To unite neighbors to solve mutual problems.
2. To promote fellowship among neighbors.
 


4 - Allied Area Gets New Park and Homes (Attachment:  “pics Allied area construction.jpg”)
           
Big things have been happening in the Allied area this summer. Well, technically, only the new park is in the Allied area.  The park is on Revival Ridge (street) below the Revival Ridge apartments and southwest  of the Boys and Girls Club.
 
The homes, built by Habitat for Humanity, are in the Belmar part of the neighborhood on Equity Lane.  Equity Lane intersects with Crescent Road on the south and connects to 3 other streets:  Unity Lane, Pawnee Pass, and New Freedom Lane.
