This medium should be a part of the Boston Civic Summit. Not everyone can make the time and place.

Civic engagement would mean the the President of our Boston City Council should make more available electronically the Council publications currently on paper such as the Municipal Register, the Organization of City Government and Boston Streets, see http://www.cityofboston.gov/citycouncil/citycouncilpub.asp

Even on paper copies are not readily available.

Annual Reports of City Departments are not even listed at
http://www.cityofboston.gov/citycouncil/citycouncilpub.asp

Council Rule 34 needs to be updated
http://www.cityofboston.gov/citycouncil/councilrules.asp

Rule 34 should better reflect the use of this medium to disseminate Council communications so that for example the full text of notices of Council Committees' public meetings can be read on the web.

A Mayoral Directive and Boston City Council Order are needed for the more routine transmittal of City Documents to our Boston Public Library Government Documents Department

The City Council Library should be more open to all interested in a continuing civic engagement.
