CLEARWATER - Applications are being accepted for the fifth annual Citizen's Academy, Clearwater 101, a ten-week program providing citizens with a hands-on learning experience about the people, equipment and infrastructure it takes to run Pinellas County's second-largest city. The program will be on Tuesday evenings from 6 to 8:30 p.m., September 26 to November 28, and is open to all Clearwater residents.
This interactive program is a unique, educational experience for Clearwater citizens interested in city affairs. Sessions are led by a variety of elected officials, department directors and city staff who share information and insight about the city's operations, as well as key issues facing the city today. Program graduates will be honored at a special ceremony during a fall City Council meeting.
A selection committee will choose 20 participants from the received applications. Applications are available online at www.myclearwater.com or by calling (727) 562-4682. Applications must be received by August 11.
