Dear Ward 3 residents,

The Takoma Park City Council has a public meeting this Wednesday, July 28. Please see the agenda and information below. This is the last City Council meeting before our August recess. Regular meetings will resume September 8.

During August, I expect to send less frequent email updates (i.e. not weekly), but please be in touch if you have questions, concerns, or ideas during this time (kacyk@takomaparkmd.gov or 202-617-9295). There may be periods when I am offline and cannot get back to you quickly, but I will loop back with you when I am back online.

Please also mark your calendars for my virtual "office hours" from 7:30-9pm on Sunday, August 29. I will send more details and a Zoom link closer to the date.
