UPDATE on the city front

Mayor Jamie Mayo has looked at the idea and is sending it to his legal team on Monday.

This means we need to get as many people as we can to turn out for the Monroe City Council pre-council meeting to show support for the idea. It wouldn't hurt to have information from towns our size (under 50,000) that have already done this, so we can preempt thoughts that community gardens on city land are a) too complicated and b) too much of a risk.

If you happen to be surfing the Internet and find a site, email it to monroegardens@gmail.com and we will put it in the list of "resources".

The council meeting is Tuesday at 7 p.m. at City Hall (across the street from the Monroe Civic Center). The pre-council meeting is at 6 p.m. It is important to try to get to the pre-council meeting because that is an open forum. Tell your neighbors. Bring your friends. Help grow this idea.
