Increase Transparency and Build Trust with Martinez City Hall
City Hall actions must be accessible to the public, the decisions must be transparent, and the citizens of Martinez need to participate.
Many Martinez residents are frustrated with feeling like they are not aware of opportunities to be involved and provide input when decisions are made in the City of Martinez.
Usually, there is a post on social media or a comment from a friend about “a public meeting last week” that elicits several comments like “Why do I never find out about these things?!?!”.
The landscape of public communication has changed. In a small town that previously had multiple print newspapers that reported on Council meetings and other important City actions, we now only receive our information electronically and intermittently.
