I should’ve made this clearer… the Talking Points document is internal only and not meant to be public facing. The FAQ’s are already on our Teen Services page.

Hi Zach,

 

So that we’re on the same page, and assuming Parks is receiving objection emails regarding the Old Fire House situation, is there a general response (or any response) your department is sending? If yes, may I see it to incorporate it into our response from the Mayor’s Office? We’ve received a handful of these in the last couple of days. 

 

Thanks Zach!

Dear Mayor Birney and Members of City Council: 

 

I am writing in regard to the City's plan to close The Old Fire House Teen Center. Myself and many others wish to speak to you on this matter. We have gathered over 2,000 signatures on a change.org <https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fchange.org%2F&data=05%7C02%7Cyyu%40redmond.gov%7C3ce07904b6224d2f1bb308dd6b1f2c0e%7Ccb894d07355f495fb9c1a2a6d84a7468%7C0%7C0%7C638784503814174147%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=VvCNm%2F2rFjZ22SWOpqgKfzvC1Py9uDj8qZaVxZKtkFg%3D&reserved=0>  Petition just this past weekend, urging a stop to the center being closed. We urge you to review our Petition and the numerous comments expressing the critical need for OFH to remain open. As the City's FAQ states the building is currently safe for occupancy, we see no legitimate need for the center to be closed at this time. A sufficient replacement must be created first if the closure is truly necessary. The public will be outraged if this process proceeds without first allowing opportunity for public comment. The teens will lose a vital resource, just before Spring and Summer break, and the City of Redmond will lose a one of a kind cultural space. Teens and their parents do not feel they have been included in this process or discussion. Please consider delaying the closure of the center until the public has had an opportunity to speak to you and until a sufficient plan for replacement has been made.
