Want to sit on City Council?; City hosting \Candidate 101\ workshop for those interested in running for council
2011
Overview
\"Basically, this meeting will address the types of questions we've been asked in the past while people were running for council and put it together in to one presentation,\" said Grace Fika, Deputy Chief Election Officer. \"The time commitment really varies. Candidates are expected to attend council meetings, and they can start as early as 1:00 and they can run as late as 8:30, depending on the meeting schedule. There are also travel commitments, training, appointments and committees, and reading and prep work for council meetings. There is no set time commitment because is could be 20 hours one week, 10 the next and 40 the next. It varies depending on what is going on,\" said Fika. \"They get to be a part of the community and the decision-making in the community. Whether you're voting for council or whether you're participating in council, this is the closest level of government to the people. So, as a member of council, you really do have a voice in the direction that our community goes. It's an incredible opportunity for people to make a difference,\" said Fika.
