City seeks input on capital projects for parks, public safety and
transportation

COLUMBIA, MO (July 12, 2005) -- The city of Columbia will give
residents several opportunities to provide input on capital needs for
parks, public safety and transportation. Staff members from city
administration and various departments will be available to share
information about projects that have already been proposed and to answer
questions. The format will allow citizens to visit one-on-one with staff
members, who will set up several information stations. Fact sheets will
be available.

The purpose of the public input sessions is to assist the city as it
begins to prioritize community needs prior to the City Council
finalizing a possible package to be placed on the November ballot. The
City Council anticipates holding public hearings on Aug. 1 and Aug. 15
that will provide additional opportunities for public input.

The first two public input sessions are scheduled as follows:

Wednesday, July 13: 4:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m., Shepard Elementary School
Gym
2616 Shepard Blvd.

Thursday, July 14: 4:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m., Smithton Middle School
Cafetorium
3600 W. Worley
