The Newton mayor does his community outreach sort of like we do, except that
- he brings along all his department heads,
- invites the whole city,
- hold it at a bank,
- records it on TV,
- computer monitor brought along that was larger than my home TV,
- professionally produced sign on a sandwich board out front, and
- police cruiser with flashing lights out front.
Lots more staff in a big city and it all seems to end up having to come along. Looks like 25 people.
This was next to my office, so easy to check out – curiosity satisfied.
This was the emailed invitation –

| Dear Resident,
In August, we launched a new initiative to actively engage and partner with Newton residents and businesses to help create a more livable, sustainable city. The new initiative, “Newton Leads: Ideas and Action” consists of a new web platform that allows residents and businesses to connect with City Hall and monthly village meet-up where City Department Heads and I will be available to hear from the community in a casual, drop-in format.
The next village meet-up is scheduled for this evening, Wednesday, October 29th in Nonantum at Metro Credit Union located at 334 Watertown Street beginning at 6:00 p.m. Mayor Warren and City Department Heads will be available to answer questions and listen to feedback and ideas in a casual, drop-in format.
We will also host a virtual meet-up online tonight at 7:00 p.m. for anyone who was unable to attend the meet-up. Residents will be able to stream the conversation from their computers and participate by asking questions and sharing ideas online. If you would like to submit a question or idea, you can do so by clicking here, any time before or during the virtual meet-up. You can stream the conversation beginning at 7pm from the same web address.
For more information on “Newton Leads: Ideas & Action” and sign up for alerts and updates, please click here.
Sincerely,
Setti D. Warren
Mayor
