JANUARY 22-28, 2014
Fayetteville citizens are invited to help make their community a better place to live by participating in
Fayetteville OutFront, a civic engagement website. Fayetteville OutFront acts as a virtual living room where
citizens can come and share their ideas and thoughts with City staff. On the website, City staff will post
surveys, host forums, create discussions and manage public projects. Residents can also create and post their
own ideas or comments and vote on ideas created by other citizens.
The goal of the website is to create two-way conversations between the public and City employees. Reports
and analysis based on the opinions shared on the website will be distributed to policy makers, such as City
Council members and department heads to inform them as they make decisions that affect the community.
Citizens can get started in the online conversation by signing up at FayettevilleOutFront.com.
Departments Help Ministerial Council Win State Grant
The Fayetteville-Cumberland Human Relations Department and FayettevilleCumberland Parks and Recreation recently worked in conjunction with the FayettevilleCumberland County Ministerial Council to reach out to local youth to provide them
greater opportunities to become knowledge-based citizens. The Ministerial Council received a $2,500 grant
from the State of North Carolina's Martin Luther King, Jr. Commission to pay for youth in FayettevilleCumberland Parks and Recreation programs to participate in the MLK Prayer Breakfast and the Community
Conversation Kickoff Event. The MLK Prayer Breakfast was sponsored by the Ministerial Council and the
Community Conversation Kickoff Event was sponsored by the Fayetteville-Cumberland Human Relations
Commission. Director of Human Relations Ron McElrath and Human Relations Commission Chair Cathy
Waddell traveled to Raleigh Jan. 17 for a grant awards ceremony. While in Raleigh, they participated in State
festivities to kickoff MLK weekend.
