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.
