Notes from Karen Ko, our acting Department of Neighborhoods District Coordinator :
The City Arborist has not been confirmed, but we're keeping our fingers crossed.
District Council elections to be held in July. Your golden opportunity to step into a leadership position.
And, finally, Tim Durkan, the regular District Coordinator for the East District has returned from his world travels. We'll welcome him back and I will return to the North. It has been an honor and a thrill to work with all of you. Thank you so much for letting me be part of this fascinating community this past year.
