Engage Morgan Hill - A community conversation about services, funding and priorities
|
|
Engage Morgan Hill
is a community conversation about services, funding and priorities. It will be a year long community engagement process that will take us right through the next next two year budget development and adoption for fiscal years 2020-21 and 2021-22.
Join the Conversation
We are excited to announce the launch of Polco, an innovative engagement platform where residents can directly provide input to the local government decision-making process.
The City received a grant from the
Silicon Valley Community Foundation
to pilot Polco for the next year. The grant provided the perfect opportunity for the city to enhance engagement efforts as part of the
Engage Morgan Hill
process, at no additional cost.
We have just launched the first question using this new engagement tool, asking for your input. Specifically,
You can provide your input by downloading the Polco app for Android or iOS, or by visiting the
Polco website
and creating an account. Polco’s platform is available via web, mobile app, email, and any place Polco e-ballots are found online. This service is free to all residents.
Polco is committed to a strict privacy policy where they only share aggregated de-identified results. Participants’ individual data and votes are never shared.
If you would like more information about Polco or
Engage Morgan Hill
, please contact Maureen Tobin, Communications and Engagement Manager at 408.310.4706 or email

Current Watering Schedule
|
|
Water is always a precious resource in Morgan Hill and with this in mind, our permanent watering restrictions have been designed to best manage the City's potable water supply. These restrictions will help us avoid or minimize the effects of drought, climate change and the unreliability of the imported water infrastructure that serves the City of Morgan Hill.
Customers can report water waste
online
or by calling the Water Waste Hotline at 408-310-4195.
