County Reform Opportunities |
|
The 2010 year promises to be one of great challenge and change, as Cuyahoga County transitions from a county commissioner to an elected county executive and county council form of government. Other county offices will be eliminated and/or consolidated under the Charter, which becomes fully effective in January 2011.
Already, numerous individuals and organizations, both internal and external have expressed a desire to be involved. The Transition Advisory Group (TAG) is looking for volunteers with expertise in the following areas:
- Boards and Commission
- County Council Planning
- Economic Development/Planning
- Finance and Administration
- Human Resources
- Human Services
- Infrastructure and Support Services
- Justice Services
TAG has identified workgroups to address most aspects of the tasks required for the transition to the Charter Government. Each workgroup will be co-chaired by a county leader and a civic leader, who will establish meeting schedules and a workplan. Specific charges are being developed for each workgroup. More details about workgroups and time commitments will follow. More workgroups may be added.
