Project Overview
The city is partnering with the National Civic League (League) Center for Democracy Innovation on the ‘Better Public Meetings’ project. An official public meeting is defined by the League as open to the public, where elected or appointed officials are present and policy decisions are being made. In Boulder, the focus is specifically on improving processes in City Council meetings.
Better public meetings are possible, sustainable and measurable. By creating a localized strategy, the city is working with the League to design an inclusive and collaborative formal process with the public.
The project is being funded by the AAA-ICDR Foundation, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization established to fund projects that promote conflict resolution and prevention in communities across the country and around the world.
