e-Town Hall

Olathe residents have the opportunity to participate in the 2014 budget process as part of the third annual Budget e-Town Hall event. The event utilizes various forms of electronic communications and social media outreach including web-streamed video, a web forum (www.OlatheKS.org/OpenTownHall), Facebook, Twitter (#OlatheBudget) and live television broadcast. Believed to be the first effort of its kind in the Midwest, the e-Town Hall provides Olathe residents a convenient way to share thoughts, ask questions or learn how their tax dollars are spent. The City Council will respond to questions and comments live during the e-Town Hall broadcast/webcast on the Olathe Government Network (Comcast Channel 7 and AT&T Channel 99) on Tuesday, July 2 at 6:00 p.m.
