MEANINGFUL COMMUNITY VOICE Community-Driven Municipal Model BEING TAKEN SERIOUSLY Meaningful Community Voice is a cross-cutting governance principle, not a tenth Autonomy. Being heard is not the end of the process. Being taken seriously is. A COMPLETE DEMOCRATIC CHANNEL The pathway is voice, response, representation, escalation, accountability and trust. A serious concern should not simply disappear when it enters an institution. ACCOUNTABILITY WITHOUT PREDETERMINED OUTCOMES Municipal support protects a resident's right to meaningful consideration and lawful accountability. It does not guarantee that every request receives a predetermined result.
