Description

Each year, the people we elect levy taxes, approve local budgets, and pass ordinances to regulate zoning, development, roads, solid waste, and more. Others oversee operations that administer elections, maintain law and order, appraise properties, collect taxes, and maintain the county's books and records. How is Collier County government organized? Who do we elect and when, who is serving now, how much are they paid, and how long can they serve? These questions and more will be answered in Collier County Civics 101. Whether you are a new or long-time resident, Collier County Civics 101 will help you be a more informed voter. This presentation, a partnership between the Naples Daily News and Sparker's Soapbox, is free and open to the public.
