M.O.V.E. Community Council seeking feedback from Olmsted County residents
Feedback form can be filled out anytime throughout the year
Olmsted County’s community council – Mobilizing Olmsted Voices for Equity (M.O.V.E.) – aims to foster meaningful connections and cultivate trust between our community and local government. M.O.V.E. is comprised of passionate individuals who are committed to ensuring our community members’ voices are not only heard but actively engaged in shaping county policies and programs. M.O.V.E. officially kicked off in October 2024 and the council is now ready to take feedback from county residents!
A M.O.V.E. Feedback Form is available for Olmsted County community members to share their insights, concerns, and suggestions related to programs, services, and initiatives of the Olmsted County government organization.
Here’s how the feedback process will work:
- Feedback submitted through the form will be reviewed/vetted by the county’s M.O.V.E. liaisons (two Olmsted County employees).
- Feedback will then be sent to others on the council to further vet and prioritize.
- Priority will be given to public health related topics. The M.O.V.E. community council will work closely with Olmsted County Public Health Services and the community to prioritize efforts.
- M.O.V.E. will follow up by email or phone with all community members who submit feedback to provide status updates on their feedback submissions.
- In addition to following up directly with community members who submit feedback, look to the Olmsted County website for M.O.V.E. updates to be shared with all county residents. M.O.V.E. council members will also share updates with their respective communities.
- Olmsted County residents are welcome to share their feedback at any time.
Purpose of M.O.V.E.
The community council – made up of community members and Olmsted County staff – will help ensure county services are examined through an equity lens. Members will work to identify pressing concerns among residents through robust engagement (e.g., surveys, listening sessions, or other interactive forums).
M.O.V.E. members’ insights and recommendations will be shared regularly with Olmsted County leadership and commissioners.
