Title

City of Gainesville's Citizens' Academy 2016 Graduates (NB)

Explanation

The City of Gainesville Communications Office offers the Citizens' Academy, dubbed “Gainesville 101,” to educate Gainesville citizens on the diverse services their city government provides and inform them on how they can become more involved in their local government.

Participants in this session’s Citizens' Academy went behind the scenes of city government operations, met with government officials, toured facilities and asked questions at seven weekly sessions. This is the 19^th graduating class of the City of Gainesville’s Citizens’ Academy.

Recommendation

The City Commission: 1) recognize accomplishments of the 2016 City of Gainesville Citizens' Academy graduates; and 2) hear brief comments from the class speaker on what they have learned.
