Five Minutes With The Mayor
Tuesday, June 28, 5:00 p.m.
- Location -
Rocky Ridge Community Garden
Next to 138 South Hazelwood Avenue
Youngstown, Ohio
Why has the mayor taken his "5 Minutes" on the road?
When held at city hall, the administration has to pay for two security guards. When held in a neighborhood, this cost is avoided.
this mayor does think outside the box when it comes to meeting the people in ytown. I cannot see any previous ytown mayors doing the samething with its populace.
Wondering if the Mayor had a crowd for this? Also, is this something all the neighborhood groups can do? I think this would be a good way for citizens that are unable to get downtown with 5 minutes with the Mayor to have their time with him.
About 20 people attended this event. The Rocky Ridge Neighborhood Association provided cold bottled water.
Some visitors took the opportunity to tour the monarch butterfly milkweed patch.
How was this staged? I always think of it like confession - very private and kind of personal ::) I wouldn't want someone two feet away breathing down my neck in 3 to 4 minutes.
When "5 Minutes" is held at city hall, you sit across from the mayor at his desk.
In the garden setting, you would have sat on a bench next to the mayor's bench.
So it's face to face confession :laugh:
The "5 Minutes" was covered by WKBN.

THANKS for the site - but had to give it up since it was still downloading after 5 minutes :o - and just think I could have been talking to the mayor during that time ;D So somewhere I saw he is going around town doing this? If he come down South we will have to find someone with a BIG porch and a Porch Swing :laugh: and serve beer and kolbusi tid bits and maybe some Irish Whisky and scones. That should make good for several 5 minutes ;)
I am in.. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
