• <br />• <br />Citizen Participation <br />The last cornerstone is citizen participation. The most important thing about <br />citizen participation is that it's voluntary. We cannot make citizens become <br />involved. What we can and must do, however, is continue to provide you with <br />OPPORTUNITIES to become involved. We announce these opportunities in the <br />Quad Press and through the city newsletter. <br />This year, we offered participation through task forces, steering committees, <br />advisory boards, neighborhood meetings, and very unique ways through the <br />Vision Bus Tour, Mayor's Coffees, and Roundtables. We continue to encourage <br />citizens to contact council members by phone, attend the work session or council <br />meetings. <br />These are opportunities for citizens to become involved in planning our <br />future. <br />Let's take a look at the department successes and plans for the future. <br />ADMINISTRATION - Director.
