M y name is Klark Alomassor. I enjoy working with people and helping others. As a Financial Representative, I want to impact the lives of others by educating them on how to improve and maximize their wealth potential while enabling them to be financially organized. We find strategies that consider all the client’s objectives and goals. Having a balanced financial plan provides clients with confidence, stability and allows them to enjoy what they love to do. I noticed that immigrants face language barriers, lack of education, health issues, and more. Because of these barriers, immigrants are not taking advantage of the available resources in their community. Sometimes they are not aware that these resources exist. I joined Minnesota Africans United to help immigrants improve their lives and contribute to the economy through their work or business. I joined SCORE to share my skills and experience. I can help educate and mentor entrepreneurs and business owners who want to start or grow a business. I enjoy assisting immigrants in realizing their dream. I want to build the community and contribute to improving the lives of community members. The SCORE Team helps all people fulfill their goals through mentoring and education.

City Zoning Updates T he City of Rochester is currently updating the City’s zoning ordinance, which regulates the manner in which private property can be developed. The new zoning ordinance (known as the Unified Development Code) is being drafted in three major installments. Installment 2 which regulates site development and project appearance, was released in May. As part of the City of Rochester’s efforts to engage with the community, the Community Development Department will be hosting virtual and in person opportunities to discuss this installment and collect community member, business, and organization feedback. Beginning in July, Community Development will seek public comment through: Virtual Q&A cafes; Neighborhood Week, a new outdoor event at a city park in each quadrant; community events such as Thursdays Downtown and the Farmer’s Market; presentations at neighborhood meetings; and various targeted outreach. Light food and refreshments will be served at each event, and no RSVP is required. The entire UDC Installment 2 draft is now accessible via the project website. A video overview is also available on the City of Rochester’s YouTube channel. The goal is to have the Unified Development Code finished by late 2021 and approved in 2022. Engagement Opportunities: Q&A Cafe: July 7, 7:30am-9:30am Open House: July 27, 5:00pm-7:00pm Neighborhood Week: August 17, 6:00pm-8:00pm Visit the project website to view all engagement opportunities: https://bit.ly/2Ua0wBt
