Ongoing Amador Government 101 Workshop Resumes Tonight
Tonight, Wednesday, October 10th, is
the next session of Amador Government 101 the ongoing workshop series being
offered by decision and policy makers to help the general public better
understand Amador County Government. The workshops being held to allow local
citizens an opportunity to hear how our local government works directly from
the mouths of the folks who run it. Wednesday night’s Amador Government 101
class will focus on the responsibilities of the Assessor, the Auditor and the
Tax Collector.
Short presentations will be made by county
department heads including General Services, Public Works, Planning, Health and
Human Services and the county’s Agriculture Commissioner. Workshops are held at
the County Government
Center in Jackson -- the public is welcome to attend
just one or all five of the workshops for absolutely FREE. Free child care is
also provided so that parents with young children can attend. Workshops are
scheduled on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month and begin at 6:30 p.m. and end 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. County
Administrative Officer Terri Daly reminds viewers that the workshops are not
the place to bring individual issues or concerns but are designed to allow the
public an opportunity to get an overview of County government and meet our
fellow resident County employees, who make it work. TSPN is taping the entire
workshop series for broadcast at a future date.
