District 1 Update: Boys Totem Town

5/22/2019

4 Comments

 
We learned today that Ramsey County will be closing Boys Totem Town. The previously established work group (from 2017) has just started meeting again. The group's focus will be on further engaging community in discussions about what the site could look like in the future. We have, of course, already done quite a bit of this. Community feedback will be compiled into a report late in the year and shared with city and county officials, as well as the community.

District 1 and committee members do not have the authority to make a determination of what happens to the property. Our current role is to find out what community members would like to see happen with the space. We will be meeting throughout the year and hosting community gatherings for discussion and sharing.  All meetings will be listed on the website calendar, via our newsletter and social media.

Note that work group meetings are designed for planning and discussion among selected group members. These are not community meetings. Neighbors are welcomed to attend, but will not be part of the discussion process.

I noted that there are meetings taking place about Totem Town and only selected group members may contribute to these meetings. How does one become selected to join this group? When will the selection process take place?

Hello Nancy,

The committee was selected through an application process in 2017. Right now, we do not plan on having another application process. However, this is ONLY a work group that was formed for the District 1 grant process and it will conclude this year. The committee is not any sort of official group that can determine what will ultimately happen with BTT.

I imagine the City/County will convene their own work group when the time comes to move forward with whatever they plan to do.

By chance, at the end, did you mean "not part of the decision process"?
