Transparency & Accountability

Public Engagement Strategy
This strategy is needed so citizens and government understand when & how information will be obtained or disseminated. We need to clearly define what level of public engagement will occur for specific situations. Every situation is different we need clear definitions on whether we are informing, consulting, involving, collaborating or empowering our citizens. At the same time, we can’t perpetually exist in a state of endless discussion. People want action, and we need to create a zone of the “right amount” of engagement that builds the capacity to do more rather than just talk more.

Social Media/Open Communication
Over the past 4 years I have consistently shared happenings at the Council Table through my Facebook page as well as seeking feedback on new ideas or concepts. I will continue to provide this information and engage in respectful dialogue with residents. I have a track history of answering questions and finding answers.
