Safe Trust Responsible Open Neighborhoods Generations SAFE: We pledge to make public safety our top priority, maintaining efficient and effective first-responder systems and enhancing citizen/ community relationships with police, fire and other city departments. TRUST: We will work to make sure full and informed citizen participation comes before decisions are made - not after -putting the interests of the all people including the affected communities and the intended beneficiaries, ahead of personal or partisan interests. RESPONSIBLE: We believe that city officials must be accountable to all citizens, including persons of color, seniors, persons with disabilities, low-income residents, immigrants and refugees - that they must be fully engaged to the public, not parties, and must respond to citizen concerns in a timely and non-partisan fashion. OPEN: We will break down the barriers that exclude citizen participation and lack transparency -- bringing decision-making back into the public arena where it belongs; ensuring taxpayers are fully informed and have an opportunity to participate in all decision-making. NEIGHBORHOODS: We pledge to strengthen community voices and work – across ward boundaries -- to foster stronger neighborhoods with equal right and access to the resources and amenities of our city. GENERATIONS: Understanding that our city was built by generations of people who loved it, as we do, we pledge to build a stronger, safer and more beautiful city for the next generations that will come after us.
