Second Ward Office Activity, official ward duties, not a campaign event
Last verified:
Community Need
Residents need consistent access to their elected representative outside of City Council meetings, particularly when dealing with property, public safety, infrastructure, sanitation, water, and other municipal concerns.
Colby's Role
Second Ward Alderwoman and direct constituent advocate.
Action Taken
Established an accessible ward-office model that includes weekly office hours, recurring community meetings, direct resident communication, departmental referrals, case escalation, and follow-up with City officials and outside agencies.
Result / Current Status
The office provides a recurring point of access for approximately 7,000 Second Ward residents, creating year-round opportunities to raise concerns and obtain assistance rather than limiting resident engagement to Council meetings.
