The academy is a free eight-week course to promote interaction between residents and City staff in an overview of the City’s government and operations. All Menifee residents and business owners are invited to participate.
The program will include workshop sessions and tours led by City staff and elected officials. An overview of each City department will be included during the course, along with question and answer sessions.
“Menifee’s Citizens Academy will provide participants with a behind-the-scenes look of how the City of Menifee operates and give them a wealth of knowledge regarding their city government,” said City Manager Armando Villa. “By building this strong foundation together, we can create a powerful and better-informed community.”
Subject matter for the academy ranges from building a smart city to residential and commercial activity, emergency management, city budgetary processes, capital improvement projects, and public safety. Each session is hosted by city staff members from the departments being featured each week.
The Menifee Citizens Academy is led by the Office of Economic Development and each session will be held on Tuesdays from 4-6:30 p.m. beginning Aug. 16 and ending Oct. 11. Participants must attend at least six of the eight sessions to graduate.
