January’s forum discussed the report, “Enhancing Governmental Effectiveness and Ethics in Cincinnati,” which recommends major changes to the roles of the Cincinnati mayor, city manager and council as well as clarification of the role the elected officials play in development.
Our three speakers include the authors of the report—Doug Linkhart, President of the NCL, and Kimberly H. Nelson, Professor of Public Administration and Government at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Co-Editor, State and Local Government Review. Jerry Newfarmer, President & CEO of Management Partners, former Cincinnati City Manager and president of the Seasongood Foundation, will provide a brief background on the history and value of the Council-Manager form of government.
Co-sponsored by Action Tank, Charter Committee of Greater Cincinnati, Cincinnati Public Library, Cincinnatus Association, Greater Cincinnati Voter Collaborative and the Murray and Alice Seasongood Good Government Foundation.
