Does the Manager's guidance and leadership i enhance the organization's openness and i__ _ availability to the public? I continue to devote considerable time and attention to community relations and outreach. I have made it a personal priority to be present and visible throughout our community. I make a concerted effort to reach out to neighborhood associations and neighborhood leaders on a regular basis. Over the last two years, I have tried to attend every one of the 22 neighborhood association meetings. I have nearly achieved my goal and plan to continue to attend neighborhood meetings on a regular and periodic basis as a way for me to continue to learn about our community and the hopes and dreams people have for our city and their neighborhoods. I believe it is important to reach out to and learn from community stakeholders. In addition to attending neighborhood association meetings, I frequently meet with the Neighborhood Leaders Council and the individual members of the Budget Committee. I work hard to foster the values and integrity of representative government and local democracy when I meet with people inside and outside of our City organization. Because we are committed to meaningful citizen participation and community involvement in the decisions that affect our lives, we have been actively promoting greater use of neighborhood associations as venues for important community conversations. I have encouraged each of our Executive Directors and all of our program managers to make civic engagement an important part of service delivery and service evaluation. 11
