MAKING CITY GOVERNMENT EASIER TO ENGAGE WITH
Clearer communication, better accessibility and more real opportunities for residents to participate.
The issue
City decisions are often hard to follow, and that keeps people out of them.
Why George is focusing on it
Evanston operates under a council-manager form of government: elected officials including the mayor and City Council establish policy, while professional city staff administer city operations. Making that clear is part of making it usable.
