Debbie
Dunn, creator and host of the Amador County Government 101 Workshops, gave an
update to the Administrative Committee on Monday. Updates included attendance
statistics, evaluation results and proposed future steps. Dunn indicated that
all of the County’s goals had been met, and was especially delighted by some
unexpected outcomes.
According
to Dunn, County employees, department heads and elected officials appeared to
feel better about their jobs now that they’ve had the opportunity to explain
their roles in a public forum. Dunn offered congratulations to all County
employees for the pride, cooperation and professionalism they brought to the
event. She also thanked the Board of
Supervisors and Terri Daly for quickly getting on board with the original
workshop idea. Dunn explained that she was changed by the experience of
reeducating herself on the Democratic process. Future proposed workshops include creating a volunteer Public
Education and Outreach corps and holding quarterly classes in order to
encouraging public involvement in the many organizations and agencies in the
county. Dunn gave a special acknowledgement to TSPN for repeat broadcasts of
the workshop session, potentially reaching 18,000 viewers.
