The First of the Amador Government 101 Workshop Series Held Last Thursday

The first of an innovative workshop series on Amador County government was held last week and TSPN was there to tape the full session of Amador Government 101. The workshops are being offered, right here in the county, by decision and policy makers to help the general public better understand how our local government works directly from the mouths of the folks who run it. The workshop locations are at the County Government Center with the public welcome to attend just one or all five of the workshops for absolutely FREE.

The next workshop will be held October 10th and focus on the Assessor, Auditor, Recorder, Tax Collection, Pulic Works, Planning, General Service Administration and Health & Human Resource Departments.  Presentations from Department Directors will run ten to fifteen minutes. The public is reminded that the workshops are not a forum for individual issues or complaints -- The goal is to allow the public an opportunity to see an overview of County government and meet our fellow resident County employees, who make it work. Workshops are scheduled on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month beginning at 6:30 p.m. and ending at 8:30 p.m.  An open public question and answer period will be held from 8:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. TSPN will be taping all of the Amador Government 101 workshops for broadcast in the future.
