I think the meetings are a good start, but, each ward would be better served if the meetings were in each ward and not on Brooks' official turf. Perhaps a tour of the ward with the representing council person, before the meeting , would bring added value to any discussion with residents. People are more inclined to attend, and feel more comfortable , when the meetings are closer to home.
