SLC forecast: More sunshine




Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker says he is planning to bring more transparency to city government.

The plan will be unveiled next month. The initiative received a mention in Monday's Tribune.

Also, Joel Campbell, an assistant professor of communications at Brigham Young University, wrote this Monday on his Facebook page.

Salt Lake City will announce a new "Transparency for Collaborative Policy Development" on Tuesday, Jan. 6, 10 a.m. to noon at City and County Building, 451 S. State. The initiative will look at how the public can be more aware, involved and have more input into city operations. A key part of this is changing the city government culture with relation to GRAMA and open meetings. I have had the opportunity to be a consultant on the project and hope it will be a model for other governments in Utah. I believe that the Becker administration is committed to rethinking openness, transparency and citizen involvement in government.
