What is the role of Council staff in dealing with Constituents?
Council staff regularly attends neighborhood and other community meetings and assist Councilors in a variety of areas. Staff is familiar with constituent and neighborhood issues in each Council district and help develop solutions to community concerns. Council Services staff works closely with all City departments, the Office of Community & Neighborhood Coordination as well as neighborhood coalitions and neighborhood associations and are well-equipped to deal with any issue a constituent may have. Council staff communicates with Councilors to keep them apprised and informed of both specific and general issues their constituency has brought to their attention.
