Carson City Supervisor Jim Shirk seeks input from citizens
Citizen input has been a central theme and priority for Carson City Ward 4 Supervisor Jim Shirk. "One of the basic threads of conversation is listening," said Shirk. "My goals are to: Improve communication between city government and citizens; and Help to solve the real problems that citizens are frustrated about."
Meeting members of the community on their terms will help build community confidence, said Shirk, noting that he is personally available 6 days a week (excluding Sunday’s), to meet at his office, or at a convenient location.
"Government accountable to their citizens — constitutes one of the most important institutions of contemporary life," he said. "That is way we need to find ways to broaden and deepen the community access to local government information, and the first step is ease of communications. Engaging citizens encourages participation. Proactive communication to keep constituents informed, will allow citizens the opportunity to take a significant role in Carson City’s future."
"I want to engage with citizens to understand the desires and expectations of the community residents. Contact me to set up a meeting; I look forward to hearing from you, your group or your organization."
