Dear Neighborhood Leaders,
I wanted to pass along some information that will be helpful for your neighborhood groups and helpful for City staff and me to better communicate critical information to citizens.
First, I wanted to notify you that there has been a change in leadership at Team 4. As part of a routine shifting of leadership, Lieutenant Tim Dasher is taking over command from Lieutenant Matt Wojslawowicz as of this weekend. I am copying Lieutenant Dasher on this email, and I look forward to working with him. I thank Lieutenant Wojslawowicz, who will now be overseeing Crimes Against Property, for his work reducing overall crime in West Ashley.
Second, in my effort to strengthen the neighborhood associations in District 9, I am passing along a form to gather current information on leadership and governing documents. If you are in a leadership position, please fill out this form: <redacted>. If not, please forward it to the current leader. I am also including a video (https://www.facebook.com/share/r/16AebGqDvf/) of Becca Hopkins, the City’s contact for all of the neighborhoods, explaining how to set up a group if you are in a neighborhood without one. I know the City is working hard to improve its communications capabilities to citizens, but, in my view, nothing beats healthy neighborhood groups.
Finally, I want to inform you that I am beginning a “A Latte on the Agenda” series. A flyer is attached below. I know I have promised this to some of you, and this last year has been busy with some very important projects now moving forward in the district. I am looking forward to discussing all the progress in an informal setting this Thursday at Biscuit Bros., beginning at 8:30 a.m. I hope to make this a quarterly session at different locations around District 9.
Best regards,
William Tinkler
Charleston City Council, District 9
