Shelby County needs you | Community Spirit

The Shelby County Mayor's Office is taking applications for the Shelby County Citizens' University.  The class will begin on August 11th and run until October 20th.

The 10 week course will be held on Thursday nights. 

Shelby County Mayor Mark Luttrell says they want to give citizens the opportunity to have a behind the scenes look at Shelby County Government and how your tax dollars are being spent. 

The presentations for the class will include Chief Administrative Office, Administration and Finance, Community Services and Shelby County Corrections Center.

The evening classes will start at 6 p.m. and end at 8 p.m.  You must be at least 18 and live or work in Shelby County to be considered.  Sessions will include group discussions and on-site visits at various Shelby County Government bureaus.
