Leaders from 10 towns across Siskiyou County came together to share information and ideas last Wednesday during the League of Local Agencies of Siskiyou County s quarterly meeting in Dunsmuir.
Better known simply as LOLA, the group meets every three months at various Siskiyou County locations. We exchange ideas during these quarterly networking meetings so we can learn from each other and spark new ideas, said Mount Shasta City Councilor Tim Stearns. We ve been doing this for 30 to 40 years.
The July 21 meeting was attended by representatives from Dunsmuir, Mount Shasta, McCloud, Dorris, Etna, Fort Jones, Montague, Tulelake, Weed and Yreka, as well as District 2 supervisor Ed Valenzuela, Siskiyou Economic Development Executive Director Tonya Dowse, and Siskiyou County Sheriff Jeremiah LaRue. Each shared their strategies to build strength in the county by sharing what s happening in all corners of Siskiyou.
