Tonight, City Council will be discussing the fate of the ballot initiatives that will help protect the city parks of Gladstone.

The integrity of these initiatives could be threatened if Council chooses to absorb them into their Charter Amendment package (which is also pending to the November ballot).

Please join us tonight at 6:30pm and tell city council that we, the voters, want these initiatives to stand on their own on November's ballot!

We are proud to announce that our initiative petitions have been delivered to the county for signature verification! In a few more days we should have confirmation that the initiatives are approved for City Council review.

Thank you to all of our community members for your support, and a special thank you to our canvassers for their hard work and community outreach. In just over a month they collected 1,080 signatures for each petition!!! How amazing is that?

Please attend the City Council meeting on August 9th. Let City Council know that the community has spoken and we need these initiatives on the November ballot!
