County Commissioners seek public input on community needs

The Washington County Board of Commissioners (BCC) invites the public to participate in a series of “Community Listening Sessions” intended to help them understand community needs from a wide variety of diverse perspectives. The Board will use the feedback generated to guide future plans related to services, investment priorities and policy direction that are equitable to all residents.

In addition to a general conversation about community needs, the Board asks for feedback about their recent proposal to fully fund body-worn cameras for all Sheriff’s Patrol deputies. A short online survey has been prepared for community members to weigh in on a list of additional subjects that could be discussed at the listening sessions or make additional suggestions.

The listening sessions will take place throughout the last two weeks of August. While all are welcome to attend any session, some meetings are geared to specific cohorts in order to ensure a safe place for all community members and to help all voices be heard. Listening session attendees will be encouraged to reserve input and speaking time for community members who are often marginalized in similar conversations.
