"Citizen Budget Priorities" the focus of next Town Hall Meeting

The Citizen Budget Priorities intiative will be the focus of the next Council Town Hall Meeting.

This year, the Council started a new public involvement process to better understand how the residents of King County feel their government should prioritize services and spend tax dollars. Citizen workshops and public forums have been conducted throughout the county by an independent consultant using established public opinion research techniques. Results from the initiative will help the Council set its priorities for the 2008 budget.

The County Council is a regional government committed to engaging King County residents in their local communities. Throughout the year, the Council holds local Town Hall Meetings on issues of public importance. Community members have the opportunity to meet Councilmembers, be briefed by local and regional experts, and provide public testimony.

Each Town Hall is a special meeting of the Council’s Committee-of-the-Whole (COW), the only standing committee on which all nine members serve. COW considers legislation and policy issues of interest to the entire council.

Recent town hall meetings have been held in Renton, West Seattle, Carnation, Auburn, Shoreline, Seattle, Bellevue, and Enumclaw.
