The Greater Maple Valley Unincorporated Area Council will hold its monthly meeting on Monday, Dec. 1 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Maple Valley Fire Station on the southeast corner of the intersection of SE 231st St & SR-169.

The guest will be Elizabeth Hill, Senior Deputy Ombudsman for Rural and Unincorporated Area Affairs in the King County Ombudsman’s Office. Hill’s office investigates citizen complaints that assert a County agency or employee is acting in a manner that is unfair, arbitrary, inconsistent, or contrary to law.

Members of the public are invited to attend and can address the Area Council on any local issue during an open comment period at the start of each meeting.

Your Area Council is locally elected and represents all unincorporated area residents living in the Tahoma School District. It advocates issues of local importance to King County, our local government. King County and State officials often are invited to address the Area Council and local residents.
