r hometownlife.com 0 & E Media | Thursday, September 28, 2017 (WGRL) A7 Council candidates share ideas at League of Women Voters forum

David Veselenak hometown I ife.com

How to attract younger people to Livonia is a question posed to everyone seeking a seat on the city council. Those running this year had their chance last week to answer that ques­ tion during the first candidate forum for this year’s local election. Seven candidates took the stage Sept. 21 to answer questions posed by the League of Women Voters of North­ west Wayne County in Livonia City Hall. Those seven candidates included: James Hooper, Gerald Perez, Suzan Hyssen, Laura Toy, Steve King, as well as incumbents Jim Jolly and Cathy White. Councilman Brian Meakin, who is also running for re-election, did not attend the forum. The eight candidates are running for one of four seats on the city council. Meakin and White are running for re- election, while Jolly, who was appointed to the council in 2016, looks to remain on the legislative body.

The seven were asked several ques­ tions during the event, including on what the city can do to attract those younger people looking to start fam­ ilies. Hooper said he’d like to see more family-friendly events in order to at­ tract those younger people to the city. He cited the recent Good Old-Fash­ ioned Com Roast that took place earlier this month as a perfect example of events the city needs to attract those families. “Events like that are something that I think make families feel welcome in the community,” he said. “1 would like Hyssen to see more events like that through either churches or community organi­ “It funded 20 neigh­ zations, partnering with the parks and borhood projects and rec (department) and the city to pre­ some of those included an A small crowd turned out for the forum, bill bresler | hometownlife.com sent events such as that.” outdoor amphitheater at White said she’d like to see the civic Hoover Elementary center campus at Five Mile and Far­ School, others included town Detroit currently has.
