What is MESA About?
MESA is a group of concerned neighbors that came together to seek help from our government officials to improve public safety in our neighborhood while working towards real solutions to get help for those who are unsheltered in our community. Our founders are neighbors, business owners, property owners and concerned citizens. As we work through the issues, we identify gaps or issues in the systems or the programs, and work to find solutions that will improve our neighborhood and the lives of those who are unsheltered today. All ideas and solutions are welcome, and discourse about the issue may bring some new solutions to light. Some things we have identified today where each of us can help make a difference is:
- Attend your City Council meetings and comment on agenda items that factor into the quality of life in our neighborhood. We’ll send updates on specific items that we are paying attention to.
- Encourage your City Council members to support our law enforcement. MESA supports our law enforcement officers, and we need to get that message to our Councilmembers.
- We encourage our members to be a part of the solution. We need to be looking at programs, ideas and events that can help us solve the issues affecting our neighborhood. Bring things up and let’s see what could lead to some real solutions to improve the quality of life for our entire commmunity.

McKinley Park Trash Dash
Sunday 10 am to Noon
We need you intrepid Trash Dashers out on Sunday for our monthly pick-up party at McKinley Park. We have rain in the forecast, but that hasn’t stopped our troopers in the past, so don’t let it stop you. Come meet up by the Duck Pond at McKinley Park and help us clean up around the park. We will have our litter getters, trash bags, gloves and lots of friendly faces out to make our park shiny. For more information, visit FB link here: https://www.facebook.com/
