Dear Menlo Park City Council Members:
The League of Women Voters of South San Mateo County is a nonpartisan
organization whose purpose is to promote informed, active citizen
participation in government. We maintain an Observer Corps of League
members, who regularly attend and report on meetings of governmental units,
including county, city, township, and school councils, commissions, boards,
authorities, and committees.
The purposes of the Observer Corps are to:
1. Promote public interest in local government.
2. Enhance accountability by being a presence to elected officials.
3. Alert the League Board to upcoming agenda items on which the League
has program positions to which the League may wish to speak.
4. Identify areas for future League study and action.
League Observers do not participate in the meetings they attend. They dont
request time on the agenda and dont address the issues being discussed
during meetings. They sometimes ask questions for clarification. League
Observers wear identifying badges. We aim to educate our members and show
our support for good government.
This letter is to introduce you to Lee Crager, who will regularly observe
the *City of Menlo Park Council Meetings*.
Thank you for your time and consideration. Please contact me if you have
any questions about this program.
The League of Women Voters of South San Mateo County thanks you for your
public service.
Lucia Tedesco
President
League of Women Voters of South San Mateo County
