Currently, public-policy decisions tend to be made to solve a situation or a complaint.  Staff completes research and Council votes to decide.  Civonus levels the playing field for residents to provide input and make decisions that can help create a policy that truly represents what the majority of people want.  Everyone involved has the ability to put forth their ideas and thoughts, and then as a group come to a consensus on the best policy. 
Access to Civonus can be totally remote, breaking down barriers that exist by the requirement to attend meetings at a specific time and location.  Individuals can be thoughtful and take their time to provide insights and answer questions.
