Citizens' Academy Online



Welcome to Gainesville 101: Citizens' Academy Online! This site is for attendees of Gainesville 101: The 2008 Citizens' Academy. One of the city's core values is sustainability and, in keeping with Gainesville's values, a decision was made to offer presentations online rather than in print. Here you will also find links to additional information that might be of interest to Gainesville 101 attendees, as well as an interactive Gainesville 101 blog! We encourage participation on the blog. It will be a way for attendees and city staff to get to know each other better, as well as a great forum to ask questions. At Gainesville 101, attendees will learn more about our community and the issues that could affect them. This site contains an overview of the handouts and topics that will be discussed each week. To receive the most from Gainesville 101, students should attend each session as the Citizens' Academy online version is not intended to be a substitute for the biweekly classes. Instead, this site is intended to be a complementary component to the class sessions.
The Sessions:
Governing the City	Quality of Life	Building a Vibrant Community
Communications and Infrastructure	GRU: More than Energy	Public Safety
