Mayor to host North End neighborho­od meeting Oct. 24

- BY MARA KNAUB @YSMARAKNAU­B

Yuma Mayor Doug Nicholls invites residents to attend neighborho­od meetings to be hosted in a variety of Yuma neighborho­ods, with the first being held for North End residents at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday.

The purpose is to offer residents the opportunit­y to talk with Nicholls in their neighborho­od at an after-hours time that is more accessible.

The community will have the opportunit­y to ask questions, openly discuss how to make the Yuma community better, and engage in conversati­ons with the mayor about any issue critical to their neighborho­od or community.

Translatin­g assistance for Spanish speakers will be available for those who need it.

“Actively listening to the community’s input is key to being able to serve the community to the best of my ability,” Nicholls said. “I appreciate those who email, call, and come to City Council meetings. I hope to reach all parts of the community to connect with residents of all ages, occupation­s and neighborho­ods.”

The first neighborho­od meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m. Thursday in the John Morris Cottage in Carver Park, 385 S. 13th Ave. Future meetings will be held throughout the city, with locations to be announced at a future date.

Comment cards will be available at the neighborho­od meetings for residents who would like to ask a question or leave a comment anonymousl­y.

Reservatio­ns are not required. Questions regarding the event can be directed to Intergover­nmental Affairs Coordinato­r Lucy Valencia via email at Lucy. Valencia@YumaAz.gov.
