Councilmember, District 4

Connie Ladenburg has served on the Pierce County Council since the voters of District 4 elected her in 2013. She chaired the Human Services Committee for three years before transitioning to Vice Chair in June 2020. Accomplishments while on Council include:

Advocacy for a Council initiated study on the needs and gaps within the behavioral health system throughout the County, conducted by the Human Services Research Institute (HSRI);

Approving the allocation of funds to start the Mobile Community Intervention Response Team; and

Currently, Connie is working to champion the one-tenth of one percent sales tax for behavioral health in Pierce County, as well as trying to provide resources and solutions to end homelessness.

You're invited to the District 4 in-district meeting

I hope you will join me for our annual in-district Pierce County Council meeting, which will be held Wednesday, Sept.16, 2020 at 5:30 p.m.

Under the Pierce County Charter, the County Council holds at least one meeting per year in each of its seven council districts. This is done to make us more accessible to the residents we represent, and to identify topics of interest for our respective districts.

In pre-COVID times, this meeting would have been held in person in District 4. However, due to current circumstances and the governor’s “Stay Home, Stay Healthy” proclamation that prohibits in-person meetings, the 2020 District 4 in-district meeting will be virtual.

This also means you don’t have to leave the comfort of your home to join me!

I invited the mayors of Tacoma, University Place and Fircrest to provide an update on what’s happening in their respective cities.

I also asked Human Services Director Heather Moss to share the work her department has done with the help of CARES Act funding to support children and families in Pierce County, and Economic Development Director Betty Capestany to share the work her department is doing to support local businesses through COVID-19 relief programs.

You can participate by watching the meeting live online at piercecountytv.org or via cable on Comcast channel 22, Click! channels 22/522 HD, or Rainier Connect channels 22/513 HD.

Don’t have access to a computer? Join the meeting by calling 253-215-8782 and use WebID 976-6178-7423.

I look forward to “seeing” you Sept. 16, 2020 at 5:30 p.m.

Find the evening's agenda will be posted on our website.
