Are you in favor of publishing lists of City Council members’ votes on actions taken by the council?

City Council, District 9

Yes. I believe in transparency and accountability for our elected officials and am in favor of making the voting record of our City Council Members not just available, but accessible, as well. Council Members’ voting records are currently available in meeting minutes; however, this format is not easily accessible to most residents and requires specific information – such as a precise meeting dates –to locate the desired information. I would be interested in exploring ways to document and present this information in a manner more accessible to
residents.
Additionally, I have sought throughout my time on City Council to ensure that a comprehensive list of resolutions, ordinances, and fee waivers that I have sponsored or co-sponsored is available for residents to review. That resource can be found on my City webpage:
