Civic engagement and government transparency initiative
Summary
Council Members Basye and Merkouris are pushing four fixes: consistent public input times across all city boards, centralized meeting notifications, consistent meeting locations, and better agenda previews. A city survey found trust in government transparency dropped from 60% in 2019 to 49% in 2025. They'll bring proposals January 27 and want resident ideas now.
