(Pottawattamie County, Iowa) – Pottawattamie County officials say the County is continuing its commitment to make communication with its residents a top priority, by hosting an upcoming town hall meeting in Oakland. The meeting is scheduled for Thursday, November 9th, from 6:30-until 8-pm. The informational discussion will occur inside the Oakland Community Center at 614 Dr Van Zee Road, with no formal deliberation or action from the Board of Supervisors. Pottawattamie County held a similar forum in April, providing an opportunity for residents to hear from County leaders about the latest developments in the County.

County Supervisor Susan Miller says “Our weekly meetings are open to the public, but we understand some residents aren’t able to attend meetings on Tuesday mornings. We hope people stay connected with us through our website and social media platforms, but it’s important we have avenues to present information directly to our residents as well. That’s a key piece in our communication strategies.”

PowerPoint slides are expected to accompany brief presentations by leaders of several County departments during the meeting, before concluding with a question-and-answer forum with those in attendance. Miller says “We’re here to serve the more than 93,000 residents of this county. There are great things taking place in our communities and we want to ensure we continue to provide ways for people to stay informed and celebrate Pottawattamie County as a great place to work, live, and play.”
