Citizen Participation

Learn about the many ways you can interact with county government or get involved in your local community. Sign up to become a volunteer, e-mail the County Executive, or become a Friend of the Parks. New to the county? Request a new homeowner packet or register to vote. Here you will also find contact information for your elected officials.  

Over the years, our Web site has evolved to better serve you. In addition to news and information about normal business of government, we have specialized pages including ones on water quality,  health for women of various ages, and  teen drinking. In addition, the county’s on-line “calls to action” have been used to gather “electronic postcards” to help the effort to bring down the cost of Medicaid and to reduce the application of the Alternative Minimum Tax on the middle class living in the county.
