On the agenda

As the city filed it

The openness of the City is something that we should rightfully take pride in. The City is routinely the most accessible, available, and transparent level of government. Much of this comes from the improvements and changes that past Council's made to increase accountability. Recent events have highlighted the continued need for Council to continuously make improvements and changes to our processes in order to continue to meet our high standards.
