City Council Candidate Proposes 'Traveling' Meetings

Inver Grove Heights City Council candidate Paul Hark is proposing “traveling” city council meetings four times per year hosted throughout the community, according to a release from the Hark campaign. 

These meeting would be spread out over the course of the year at the different schools, or other facilities equipped to host council meetings.

"However, if we move the meetings to their neighborhoods, or schools, they may make an extra effort to participate in the meetings."
