Constituent Representation

First and foremost, County Commissioners are elected representatives of the community; in particular, the residents of their districts. Consequently, Members spend a great deal of time and energy responding to the myriad requests they receive for assistance or information.

Interacting with citizens, soliciting public opinion on various issues, attending community meetings, facilitating access to government agencies and departments -- this is just a small sample of the types of activities that Members undertake on behalf of their constituents. These types of activities are generally referred to as "constituent services," a generic term that is used to encompass a wide range activities intended to assist citizens with their interactions with and connection to County Government.

Members are supported in these efforts by the constituent services team, which is charged with providing convenient, timely, and accurate responses to all citizen inquiries or requests so that people receive the information or services they need in a timely and professional manner.

The Constituent Services Team receives and responds to public requests for information or assistance and facilitates access to community resources through timely referrals to appropriate service providers. The Team also networks with social services agencies, businesses and private sector interests, nonprofit agencies, and civic groups to promote civic engagement initiatives. The goal of the constituent services team is to ensure that County Government remains accessible and responsive to all citizens.
