Residents urge improved public information, Housing Authority coordination and attention to out-of-service elevator

During the citizen-comment period several residents raised ongoing concerns about public information, housing coordination, and building maintenance. Tanyu Marshall said public information channels need improvement, noted the Board of Elections website appeared outdated, and reported the Six Churches housing elevator had been out for more than a week, calling it a dignity and potential safety issue for elderly and disabled residents.

Resident Quarla Blackwell urged that sign-in remain available through the public-comment period and criticized the city’s public information officer for not updating the official page. She also relayed community feedback that the mayor has been absent from certain community events and asked Mayor Pro Tem Felicia Solomon to step up in areas where residents feel mayoral engagement has lapsed. Mayor Moore later addressed the placement of citizen comments and said there was no intent to disenfranchise residents.
