“Sarasota Public” Is Back

Background: Ron Kashden, Laurel Park Neighborhood Association, designed and introduced “Sarasota Public” in September 2023 while a member of the CCNA Board.  Because he felt it was a conflict of interest, Ron took down the site once he announced as a candidate for City Commission in December 2023.  Because of the number of issues CCNA Neighborhoods are bringing to the table, Ron felt is was time to update and bring it back.

Sarasota Public will make your input more impactful than just emails and phone calls by…

• empowering neighborhoods to write their own topics,
• residents weighing in on their thoughts,
• and giving neighborhoods a chance to support that topics raised by other neighborhoods,
• then combining residents sentiments into a consolidated weekly email that gets sent to city hall and community leaders (which includes running tallies of neighborhood input),
• providing neighborhood leaders with a single document for all the feedback, eliminating the need for a separate petition.
  It’s an email & survey & petition all wrapped up in one.
