County Board
Walking Town Meetings
J. Walter Tejada, Christopher Zimmerman, and Barbara Favola at a
Walking Town Meeting.
Purpose
- Present communities, through their local civic associations, an opportunity to take County Board members and the pertinent County staff experts on a tour of specific routes in their neighborhoods to:
- identify issues of concern to residents
- share ideas on how the quality of life in the community can be enhanced or improved
- or to "show-off" their community.
- Tours will not be treated as problem-solving sessions but as an opportunity to bring 2 or 3 key issues and suggestions to the Board's attention for follow-up. The Board wants to listen and learn.
- The County Board Chairman will guide the tour.
