Why aren’t elected City officials at the public forums?
The public forums are designed to be an opportunity for the community to provide input to the Fleets and Facilities Department on the pros and cons of various sites. The Department has asked for this input early to aid its study of various options and its recommendations. There will be additional opportunities for input and interaction with elected officials as the decision-making process proceeds, including City Council hearings should the jail be sited in Seattle.
