The Citrus County Board of County Commissioners fall session of the Citizens

Academy is scheduled for Thursday, September 6. This marks the fifth semi-annual session

since it began in April 2010.

The Academy is a free course designed to educate and inform citizens about the

departments which make up Citrus County government. It gives residents a hands-on, in-

side look at what, how and why the county’s departments do what they do, from budget to

parks and road maintenance to community services. This gives citizens the opportunity to

understand the board’s responsibilities and capabilities and how the taxpayers’ resources are

utilized. There are field trips to various sites throughout the county that will be covered in

this course, and transportation will be provided.

There are no qualifications needed other than being a resident of the county and
