Laconia resident urges county outreach program to explain Belknap County government
Summary
Patrick Wood of Laconia proposed a public‑education program about Belknap County roles and operations, suggesting evening sessions and high‑school visits; commissioners responded positively and staff agreed to coordinate.
Patrick Wood of Laconia used the public‑comment period to propose a community education program explaining what Belknap County does, how it is governed, how it is funded and where commissioners meet. Wood said he will work with county staff (Deborah) to organize an evening session in late September and also suggested taking the program to county high schools to increase civic awareness.
Wood also mentioned that Mayor Hasmer is resigning and recommended commissioners attend the city council meeting to thank him. Commissioners responded that the outreach idea was a good one and asked staff to coordinate details ahead of the next meeting.
This was a public comment; no formal action was taken by the board on Wood’s proposal during the meeting.
