It would seem that now is also the time to have some qualification requirements written into the city charter, as well as some definition of the structure and process. The worst failing is that the Hoosick St plan that was reached through much participatory process was completely ignored by the recent city administration. There's some reasonable expectation that the new administration will be an improvement even under the existing rules, but you can't count on administrations of the future to always respect the will of the people.
