Pasco County is now accepting applications from the public to attend the second Citizens Academy class.
Applications will be accepted throughout August for a class that will begin Sept. 24, and run through December.
The first class formed in January, and finished in spring.
“We had a wonderful selection of candidates to choose from for the first class, and I’m hopeful we’ll have another top list of candidates to choose from for the fall class,” said Randy TeBeest, assistant county administrator for public safety and administration, in a release. “We’ve had applicants from all walks of life, from those currently in the work force to retirees, citizens who want to learn how their county government works.”
Participants will learn about all aspects of county government as well as Pasco’s constitutional offices. Some of the classes include subjects in emergency management, fire rescue, elections, the property appraiser’s office, libraries, tax collector, sheriff, public service, and development services and utilities.
