“Why is my bill so high?!” Frontline municipal staff know the challenge all too well: answering resident inquiries about fees, tax rates and budget allocations can easily take up hours of valuable time. To help agencies bridge the gap between complex accounting and clear public communication, Tripepi Smith is hosting a free webinar for California Municipal Revenue and Tax Association (CMRTA) members on Tuesday, Oct. 27, from noon to 1 p.m.
The webinar session, Building Public Trust Through Financial Transparency and Community Communication, will equip local government revenue professionals with concrete tools to streamline daily operations. When community members clearly see how public dollars translate into local services, staff spend far less time defending line items and more time serving the public. Attendees will learn actionable strategies to turn complicated financial data into plain-language messaging, resolve routine resident questions faster and build long-term support for future revenue measures.
The webinar and panel will be led by Tripepi Smith, Senior Business Analyst Sienna Boyd, along with two municipal expert panelists:
- Lauren Berges: Senior Management Analyst, Town of Windsor
- Allison Mackey: Communications & Brand Manager, City of Visalia
