From reading the web site, I see that representatives from each of the 17 district councils are involved in ranking CIB projects and forwarding recommendations to the mayor. I suppose, I've seen this info before (and forgotten it).
How closely does the mayor/city council follow citizen recommendations?
To those who follow this process, is it a good process? Are citizens priorities really getting addressed?
Is this process really representative of the citizens of St. Paul?
Also, I wonder how many citizens of St. Paul are even aware of this process. I follow St. Paul Issues pretty closely and I couldn't describe this process to my colleagues this afternoon (although, I suppose I did have the info, somewhere deep in the back of my head).
Is the CIB process enough?
I appreciate additional info/feedback.
Best wishes,
