City of Frisco, Getting Governance Right

Posted in governance, policy governance tagged , , , , , at 7:37 pm by The Sandbar Group

I attended the Frisco City Council meeting last night and was very impressed.  The Council uses Policy Governance as their governance system and you could see it very clearly, especially in the attitude of the Mayor.  Several times, Mayor Maso insisted on providing sufficient time for citizen comment.  In the future, the Council is planning on meeting with developers who want to influence the new zoning ordinance.  The Mayor and the entire City Council was more than happy to meet with them, but following the Mayor’s lead, they made sure that the citizens of Frisco had time to add their comments and concerns as well.

If this is any indication of the mindset of this Council, the citizens of Frisco are in good hands.
