Established in May 2006, the Sunshine Reform Task Force is a community based Task Force set-up to advise the City Council on opportunities to:
1. |
Increase public access to information; |
2. |
Enhance neighborhood participation, and; |
3. |
Ensure government accountability. |
The City of San Jose is committed to open and honest government and strives to consistently meet the community’s expectations by providing excellent service, in a positive and timely manner, and in the full view of the public. The Sunshine Reform Task Force is another important opportunity to engage the public in the work we do. Through this effort, we look forward to exploring additional steps the City can take to ensure that our processes remain visible, that we accommodate greater public participation in decision-making, and that we extend the public’s oversight of the City’s business and its operation.
The work of the Task Force will compliment other steps taken by the City over the past two years to strengthen the transparency of government operations. These include work to engage residents in the Strong Neighborhood Initiative, improve the City’s Lobbyist and Gift Ordinance, adopt new Process Integrity Guidelines for procurements, expand the City’s Public Outreach Policy, and provide on-demand access to Council and Committee meetings.
