We will also have paper surveys citizens can fill out on site May 18. A flyer is also attached that you can share in your newsletter with the sites/times. If you don’t mind, please embargo it until Wednesday, May 8 so we can ensure that all the appropriate council members are contacted with this information. Call 502-574-6400 if you have question.
