The more people we have involved in our local government, the better our elected officials and City employees can operate and allocate City resources to ensuring that members of the public are getting what they want and what they need out of the city of Turlock. I think it's a great idea to allow people to email/write letters to the City Council and have them be read aloud at City Council meetings. This would greatly encourage public participation and allow those who are not able to attend City Council meetings in person a chance to comment on what is happening within the city.
