VANCOUVER – County Manager Kathleen Otto this week introduced her inaugural newsletter to the community. The newsletter is on the county website at https://clark.wa.gov/county-manager/county-manager-updates.
“Clark County has been engaged in a lot of thoughtful and intentional work that directly impacts our community,” Otto says in the newsletter. “I am committed to providing regular updates to our community and staff, to provide information on strategic initiatives and updates on Council’s policy directions as well as highlight county services, solicit feedback, and share how residents can be more involved in shaping our community.”
In the newsletter, Otto gives updates on law and justice, the jail remodel and expansion project, the budget, how residents can get involved in county government and information on Community Development’s Learning Lab series.
Otto plans to issue these updates on a regular basis moving forward. Otto will share newsletter topics during the Tuesday Council meeting. Additionally, the county will notify the public through its social media platforms when newsletters are released and available on the county manager’s website.
