Tulare County Intoduces Online Request Form and Speakers Bureau

June 28, 2011

Tulare County introduced two new web-based customer service tools at today’s Board of Supervisors meeting.

Online Citizen’s Request Form

The Online Citizen’s Request Form, located at http://www.co.tulare.ca.us/government/board/citizensrequest.asp, is designed to allow residents to report any County-related issues online. The online inquiry will be reviewed by County staff and directed to the appropriate department for issue resolution.

Tulare County Speakers Bureau

The Tulare County Speakers Bureau is designed to provide public speakers for any event. Presentations on anything from the budgeting process to road maintenance are available and can be of interest to local clubs, civic groups, neighborhood associations, community organizations and schools. There are more than 200 topics to choose from.

To request a speaker, please visit www.aroundtularecounty.com and click on Speakers Bureau to fill out the Speaker’s Bureau Reservation Form and select a topic.

All requests must be received three weeks in advance of a scheduled meeting, conference or event to ensure appropriate time for scheduling.

No request will be considered as confirmed without the submission of a completed Reservation Form and confirmation provided by Speakers Bureau staff.

Background

Both of these items were introduced by Chairman of the Board of Supervisors Mike Ennis, who directed staff to develop and implement these initiatives during his 2011 State of the County Address in January.

“Our mission is to make constituents more aware of the programs, services, and issues impacting local government and their communities,” Chairman Ennis said. “Tulare County government employees are an excellent resource in that they have many stories to share and are capable of providing answers to important questions about services.”
