District 10 Como Community Council
District 10 is one of Saint Paul’s 17 neighborhood community councils. We represent the Como Park neighborhood, bounded generally by Snelling to the west, Larpenteur to the north, Dale to the east, and the rail lines south of Energy Park Drive to the south (map). The District 10 Como Community Council is a non-profit organization governed by a Board of Directors elected by members of the community.
Mission Statement
We connect and empower each other, creating a compassionate community, courageously addressing injustices of the past and present, and forging a bold and inclusive future.
Vision Statement
A vibrant, diverse, affordable neighborhood filled with a spirit of kindness and belonging
Help Keep Como Lake Clean – In Front of Your Own Home!
Como Community Council is teaming up with the Como Active Citizen Network and Capitol Region Watershed District on this year’s Como Curb Clean-up.
When it rains, leaves on streets release nutrients into the water that flows into storm drains and the lake. There it becomes food for invasive algae.
Notice of Proposed D10 Bylaw Changes
The District 10 Como Community Council Board is proposing changes to the organization Bylaws. We are posting a notice of the proposed changes here as well as in our weekly newsletter. The board will consider any feedback and vote on adopting the changes at the October 19 Board Meeting.
