The people who decide.

Each card opens your email app with a short, neutral message already filled in. Edit a sentence so it sounds like you, then send.

Mayor & City Council

The five Council votes that decide the rezoning.

The City Council holds the final vote on the rezoning application. Each member is reachable directly. A short, personal email or voicemail from a real resident matters.

Planning Commission

Where the recommendation begins.

The Planning Commission reviews the rezoning request first and recommends approval or denial to the City Council. Their meetings are at City Hall on the 4th Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. Public comment is welcome.

Email addresses per community reference list and City roster; verify with the City Clerk before sending.

Gardner Edgerton USD 231

Superintendent, leadership, and school board.

The school district does not cast a vote on city rezoning. Staff and board members still hear from families when a major industrial project sits next to neighborhoods with district schools. Each button opens your email with the same message template as above; adjust the closing ask to fit your relationship to the district.

USD 231 addresses per community list; verify with the district office if a message bounces.
