CCV Residents and West Side League City Residents Monday April 26'th 7:00PM Christus Victor Lutheran Church (Located in front of Clear Creek Village off 518)
This forum is all about League City citizens. Join us, have your voice heard, and become informed of ballot propositions so you can participate by your vote in determining the future of our city.
At 7 PM promptly the Candidates Forum will begin. This forum is structured to give the citizens an opportunity to ask questions important to them. The three candidates for Position 7 will be in attendance.
Reference the article below for additional details about our Candidates Forum for CCV and the West Side including the Charter Amendment Propositions.
I want to let you know the format of the forum. It is a format was used on the West End in Galveston for a Mayoral forum a few weeks ago, and it was very well received--from candidates as well as attendees. At this time, it has been decided that Peggy Zahler will be the moderator.
The format is as follows:
Three questions from the CCV Board will be provided to you a few days before the forum. These questions will be asked first and will be answered by each of you.
Drawing among candidates for order of seating/speaking
Each candidate will be given 2 minutes to introduce themselves
I will ask each candidate the CCV Board's 3 questions
Questions from the floor will then be asked. There will be no debate or follow-on question until other attendees have a chance to ask a question. This will prevent one or two attendees from monopolizing the time.
Each candidate will have a chance to answer every question asked and will be given 2 minutes
At attempt will be made, within a reasonable amount of time, to address as many questions as possible
Each candidate will be given 2 minutes to summarize their position/closing remarks
The timer from the League City Chamber will be used to enforce time limits. It is our intent to strongly enforce time limits such that all candidates have equal time.
After the candidates panel, there will be a brief presentation by City Council representatives on the Charter Review Propositions. It is planned that two citizens will then briefly discuss their preferred form of government.
Neil Baron & Mick Phalen will speak on behalf of the City on the Charter Amendments.
Charter Review Member's Marc Edelman will speak why he supports Council Manager Form of Government and Chris Mallios will speak on why he supports Strong Mayor Form of Government.
The Candidates Forum will begin at 7 PM. Depending on the questions and the turnout, your part should last no longer than an hour.
We will do everything we can to encourage a large turnout, and we are including other West Side subdivisions in our invitation.
This will allow the Citizens to ask the questions that they want to get the Candidates position on and also help educate everyone on the Charter Review Propositions.
Any questions, please feel free to call me. All are welcomed.
