As PIAC’s first deliverable, in August 2010, City Council adopted public involvement principles developed by the PIAC. The principles represent a road map to guide government officials and staff in establishing consistent, effective, and high-quality public involvement across Portland’s City government. The principles are intended to set out what the public can expect from City government, while retaining flexibility in the way individual City bureaus carry out their work. This document continues to serve as a resource for City staff as well as a tool for community members seeking to leverage better public processes.
