How to
Participate in Parish Council Affairs
|
|
Letters and Telephone Calls
Citizens with complaints about or suggestions and recommendations
for parish services may direct their concerns in a letter to the
Secretary/Manager. You may also telephone the toll-free number
1-888-666-8346 or visit the Public and Community Relations office in
person, where your concern will be recorded and action taken
accordingly. The issue will be directed to the appropriate Staff
Member or Committee for action.
Service guarantee: Our goal is to respond to all letters,
telephone calls and personal visits within 7 working days, up to a
maximum of 14 working days.
Citizen groups may also request a personal meeting with the
Secretary / Manager, who will listen to concerns and advise as to
appropriate steps to be taken.
| TIP!
Individuals are encouraged to come forward with concern(s),
however, it is more effective to join together in a residents
or citizens group to voice common goals and issues. United we
stand, divided we fall! |
Making a Presentation
If you or your organization would like to make a verbal
presentation to Council, please make a request in writing two (2)
weeks in advance of the Council meeting, held the on 2nd
Thursday of every month. Your concern will be placed on the agenda,
and you will be allowed to speak. Please direct the letter to the
Secretary / Manager, Saint James Parish Council, 19A Union Street,
Montego Bay. State your particular concerns and note that you or
your group wishes to make a presentation.
Note: The public is welcome to observe most Committee meetings ,
but is not allowed to make presentations. Please see Committees
of Council for more information.
