Lincoln County commissioner outlines how residents can provide public input
Summary
Commissioner Casey Miller described five ways for residents to submit feedback — in person at the courthouse, by phone, by email, via a Smartsheet process the county prefers, or through the commissioners' Facebook page — and noted meeting dates and office hours.
Commissioner Casey Miller urged Lincoln County residents to use several formal channels to provide feedback to county government, stressing that public input helps the county improve customer service.
Miller, who said they will have served two years of a four-year term in January, listed in-person visits, phone calls, email, a Smartsheet submission process and social media as the main routes. "If you really do intend to speak to all 3 commissioners, I think the Smartsheet process is the best way to go," Miller said, and added that in-person contact is also welcome.
Miller gave practical details: the commissioner's office is on the first floor of the Lincoln County Courthouse and is open Monday through Friday (the office closes for lunch). Callers who do not reach the front desk staffer Geneva should leave a message; Miller promised someone will return the call "in short order." The county's public meetings are held the first and third Wednesdays of every month at 10 a.m.; Miller said meetings can be attended in person or virtually and encouraged use of Smartsheet to ensure requests are entered into the public record and viewable online.
Miller also noted the commissioners now have a Facebook page, added by the public information officer, as an additional way for residents to share views publicly. "There are two best ways to get the job done. 1, contact me in person or 2, use the Smartsheet process," Miller said, summarizing the options they find most effective.
The message closed with a request that residents provide specifics on "what are we doing well" and "where do we need to improve," and with Miller thanking viewers for watching and expressing hope to see residents soon.
