There will be a meeting with Tim Carter, Yavapai County School Superintendent, at 7 p.m. at the Congress Fire Department on October 11, 2007. The format is similar to the First Congress Community Forum held September 22, 2007 where the main topic is the questions people ask.

Tim will introduce himself, discuss the purpose of the meeting, and establish the ground rules. He will then introduce Liz Hill, Arizona Ombudsman Citizen's Aide, who will speak for approximately 30 minutes about the open meeting law under which all public meetings are conducted.

After that, people can questions with no script or outline.

The meeting will continue as long as people have questions. Another such meeting can be arranged if requested.
