risks - digital divide make sure people with not access have access to app make sure that also have people can get access to app… phone ready need pr and marketing to get more involved… do we have resources to manage do have resources to do it

2/22 bring people city that working CIP data stakeholders business,city.press something around the budget - capital budgets
who are the stakeholders bring them all together as equals. not pitting against each other equal participation and quall input on interfaces what risk…. 22 as kick off here is the plan of the year…. maybe hack-a-thon with informal stakeholder meeting - see what its about and what happens. not declaring the budget app---- something exciting to talk about
