As a city who strives for continuous excellence, it's vital that the citizens of Newport have a monthly forum to discuss their concerns and ideas with the City Administration and the City Council. In addition, this forum will allow the City Council, City Manager and Department Heads to share their plans and initiatives with the public. This once a month forum will help promote transparency and improve citizen engagement with our local government. If you support the establishment of such a monthly forum, please take a moment to sign this petition in support of such a City Council resolution.
