Establish a comprehensive plan detailing how and when information will be communicated to the public. Ensure the plan includes traditional media, social media, community meetings, and the county’s website.
Schedule and advertise public meetings to discuss the controversies openly. Use these forums to provide factual information, answer questions, and gather community feedback. Organize smaller, informal gatherings in various neighborhoods to discuss these issues directly with residents. This could include town halls, coffee meetings, and attending local community events.
Website Updates: Redesign our official county website. Create dedicated pages on the county’s official website for each controversy. Include background information, current status, FAQs, and ways for residents to get involved or voice their concerns. Utilize social media platforms to share updates, dispel rumors, and provide clear and concise information. Regular posts, live Q&A sessions, and community polls can engage a broader audience. Issue regular press releases to local newspapers, radio stations, and TV channels. Host media briefings to ensure accurate reporting and address any misinformation.
Establish advisory committees comprised of community members, experts, and stakeholders for each issue. These committees can provide recommendations and act as a bridge between the public and the commissioners. Use surveys to gather public opinion and ensure that decisions are reflective of the community’s preferences and concerns.
Provide ongoing updates about the progress and any changes related to these issues. Keep the community informed about the outcomes of public meetings, advisory committee recommendations, and any actions taken by the board. Create multiple channels for residents to provide feedback, such as online forms, suggestion boxes at public buildings, and dedicated email addresses.
Fayette County is at a crossroads. We can either continue down a path of opaque decision-making and eroded public trust, or we can embrace transparency and build a stronger, more inclusive community. I believe in the latter and I am committed to working tirelessly to ensure that our government serves the people openly and honestly.
