REMINDER from Council to participate before the DEADLINE - September 28th! Rossland City Council is inviting all local citizens to participate in our 2017 budget discussion through Thoughtexchange! The City needs to make some tough decisions on our tax rates and the budget that will affect Rossland residents in the years to come. These decisions directly impact you so join the discussion and share your thoughts, and/or read through the thoughts contributed by other Rossland locals. We are also excited for Rosslanders to be some of the first stakeholders to use the beta of Thoughtexchange’s new app! Enjoy a sneak peak of this product but please be patient with the new program as this is a very early version that will be available to the general public early next year. Go to http://bit.ly/rosslandmoonwalk to see what everyone is talking about, and take the time to have your say! Some FAQs about this Engagement: I can’t find my code! Thoughtexchange currently requires you to register through email (don’t worry - we’re not spammers!) and you can find your 6-digit code in your email. If you don’t see it, is it in your junk mail? If you are asked for a 9-digit code (which you shouldn’t be as you’re taken straight into the correct engagement from the link above) you can put in 270344343. What is the blank left panel all about? This app is in beta and we apologize for some of the oddities! Please ignore your left panel and look to the right in order to participate in Rossland’s budget process How do I see others’ thoughts? If you share your thoughts first, then look to the bottom for a button that says ‘rate people’s thoughts’, you will be able to review and react to the thoughts of other locals. If you want to navigate back to edit thoughts or re-read the background, just click the X in the top right. How do I navigate backwards? Click the X in the top right corner and you will be given a menu for navigating to previous or future steps. HELP! I am confused! Don’t worry, we’re here to help and keen to hear your feedback. Just email feedback@thoughtexchange.com and someone will get back to you shortly. Thanks for your time and your attention to Rossland’s 2017 Budget!
