City council members propose calling for suggestions from city residents regarding city services

The Socialist Party of Iceland's (Sósíalistaflokkur Íslands) city council group will submit the following proposal to the city council on Tuesday, January 21, 2025. You can follow the meeting online here: https://reykjavik.is/borgarstjorn-i-beinni or attend in person at the City Hall. The city council meeting begins at 12:00 PM. Proposal to call for suggestions from city residents regarding city services It is proposed that the city's suggestion website be advertised with the aim of soliciting feedback from residents on what could be improved in the city's services, or if there is something particularly positive that could be expanded. The goal will be to send a message that the city council wants to hear from city residents and to widely advertise how to submit messages. The received comments will then be systematically processed so that city council members can review them. At the same time, it will be widely advertised how to submit suggestions by mail if the individual prefers that over electronic solutions. It is proposed that this be a special initiative that will initially run for one month, for example, by widely advertising before February that the project is starting and suggestions will be collected once the month has passed. The Human Rights and Democracy Office and the Service and Innovation Department will be tasked with managing the project and assessing how best to advertise it. Advertisements for the project and the user interface will be in several languages. Responsible departments will be tasked with assessing whether to use the city's current suggestion website or if a different system is needed to receive suggestions.
