Focus Group Looks For Input On Local Government

July 21, 2008

If you think you have ideas how to improve the way Escambia County does business, there’s a meeting for you Wednesday.

The Florida Benchmarking Consortium (FBC) needs citizens to give their opinions on local government service delivery and satisfaction at a focus group hosted by Escambia County. The event will be held at Escambia County Extensions Services, 3470 Stefani Road in Cantonment, Wednesday from 6:00 to 9:30 p.m.

Residents of Escambia, Santa Rosa and Okaloosa counties are invited to attend – especially those interested in performance measurement and active in local organizations such as advocacy groups and neighborhood associations. Service categories needing citizen input include: law enforcement, fire-rescue, code enforcement, road repair, storm water/drainage, parks and recreation, planning and growth management, and water. Seating is limited to 50 people. To register, call Marlene Dennis at (850) 595-4933.

The FBC is a group of Florida local governments that are collaborating on finding ways to make government more efficient. Information from the focus group will be shared with each FBC service category committee and ultimately help improve services. For more information on FBC, visit www.flbenchmark.org.
