COUNTY News:

Los Alamos County Council has announced that beginning Thursday, May 25, councilors will be available monthly to chat with constituents at the local Farmers Market at Ashley Pond Park.

This initiative aims to provide an informal and accessible platform for community members to engage with their elected representatives and discuss matters of local importance.

Constituents are encouraged to drop by and take advantage of this opportunity to meet  with councilors face-to-face. The councilors will be available 9-11 a.m. on the last Thursday of each month through October. The exception is in August, when councilors will instead host a booth at the County Fair.

This is an opportunity for residents to voice concerns, share ideas and gain a better understanding of the council’s work.

One to three councilors will rotate their presence each month at the Farmers Market.

This Thursday Council Chair Denise Derkacs and Councilors David Reagor and Randall Ryti will be on hand.

The Los Alamos County Council said it recognizes the importance of engaging with constituents and values their input in shaping local policies and initiatives. By bringing councilors closer to the community in a relaxed and informal setting, this initiative aims to enhance transparency, accessibility and community involvement in the decision-making process.
