Join the City of Redmond Community Academy

Please join fellow community members for the City of Redmond’s 2013 Community Academy (six Thursday evenings during October and November, 6:00pm to 9:00pm, at Redmond City Hall, 15670 NE 85^th Street).   This Thursday’s session (October 24^th) will highlight Redmond’s waste and recycling program, water and wastewater utilities, and aspects of the natural environment including stormwater and sustainability.

The Redmond Community Academy provides an opportunity for you to learn about the day-to-day activities involved in managing and operating Redmond government.  For each of the Academy’s six sessions, staff will provide information regarding topics such as public safety, the infrastructure necessary to delivery drinking water, and the process through which improvements to streets and sidewalks are considered and constructed.  During every session, participants are also invited to take part in behind-the-scene tours including the Traffic Operations, the Teen Center, the Senior Center, the Police Station and the Redmond Library.  Read More >>

 

The Academy is also helpful to community members when considering future civic leadership.  Students may find the Academy useful in the context of governmental processes/public administration and regarding community service.
