The CIC is a fifteen member citizen volunteer committee. Three members come from each of our four commission districts, nominated by citizens participation organizations, neighborhood association, neighborhood district coalitions, or community groups.
Membership is diverse in all respects.
We operate with a staff of three F.T.E. and small materials and services budget. The CIC does not involve itself in the merits of issues, but rather with the merits of the processes which shape the issues. Our program uses citizen volunteers to inform citizens about the issues, connect citizens with the decision-makers who are actively engaged in arriving at solutions, and helps citizens to contribute to the final outcomes. We try to engage citizens at the earliest possible moment, before all the decisions are made. SE Morrison Ave.
