May 9 Forum: A City That Works

Great Expectations: A City that Works

Philadelphia City Hall and good customer service? In the same sentence. That’s the bold goal of the Nutter administration.

You can help make it happen. How? Attend the Friday, May 9, community forum at the Klein Jewish Community Center, 10100 Jamison Ave. The forum is cosponsored by the Great Expectations project and the Economy League of Greater Philadelphia.

Michael Nutter and his top aides promise to use your input at these forums to help shape the performance standards and customer service expectations that they are setting up for city departments. Top City Hall officials will attend; they will explain the city’s goals for six core areas: public safety, education, jobs, healthy communities, ethics, and customer service. City Council members will be invited.

Sign-in begins at 9 a.m. The forum will run from 9:30 a.m. to noon. Lunch will be provided. Free parking is available at most sites.
