Sunday's News Sentinel will feature part one of UT's Howard Baker Center report on the structure and functions of local government. The report will use mostly graphics to present an overview of the governments of Knox County, the City of Knoxville and the Town of Farragut. The second part of the study will be completed in mid-summer. It will be a report of best practices in government structure and functions in communities similar in size to ours. The reports are being prepared to support the Knox County One Question process. In addition to the Baker Center reports, information will be gathered from citizens in at least five public input sessions. The first session is Monday at Halls High School. To read an executive summary of the Baker Center plan of work and for a list of all public input sessions visit: (link...).
