Local Government Community Discussion Board on Web
A new web-based discussion service is now available to local governments
in California. The Local
Government Commission Online Community is an outgrowth of a series
of LGC organized networking meetings in 2002 and the current interest in
community choice aggregation.
The LGC Online Community is a discussion board for local governments and
other interested stakeholders to learn about and participate in key issues
affecting their communities. This service is free and open to anyone who
creates a profile to participate.
The Online Community is divided into a collection of forums on various
issues. Some forums are open to everyone while others are limited to local
government participants.
Local government only areas provide private forums where local elected
officials, staff and their consultants can freely discuss issues and ideas
that are not yet developed well enough to share publicly. You must request
permission to access these areas by creating a profile and then contacting
the forum owner.
The Online Community is being launched with two forums dicussing Community
Choice Aggregation already in place. We will be adding other forums of
interest to local governments. Once you have created your participation
profile, you may request other forum topics.
We hope that you will take advantage of this opportunity to communicate
with your peers and other interested parties on topics important to you
and your communities.
Special thanks go to Fraser Smith of the San Francisco Public Utilities
Commission and Anne Selting, formerly of SFPUC, for prompting the creation
of the Online Community and providing suggestions for its structure.
