Countywide Fire Service Review

HOW CAN YOU BE INVOLVED?

Public engagement and outreach are very important to Santa Clara LAFCO. Throughout the Service Review process there will be many opportunities for you to engage and provide input on the study through timely community workshops, an online community survey and multiple public meetings.
