YOUR VOICE COUNTS

You can influence your community when you speak about community planning issues with friends & neighbors -- send a Letter to the Editor of your newspaper, call or email your Supervisor, submit project comment letters, or attend public hearings.  Express your opinion!

The more decision-makers are aware the community is paying attention, the more their decisions will respond to and benefit the community as a whole ... and the less likely they are to approve exceptions and variances to the General Plan. Your letters and your presence at meetings make a difference.
