Simplifying Budgets, Permits, and Projects for the Public February 3, 2026
Why Transparency Matters
We want residents and City Council to easily see how decisions are made, where money goes, and how projects move forward.
Open information builds trust.
What Wasn’t Working Before

Hard for applicants to track status and next steps.

Budget information wasn’t easy to explore.
