With this in mind, the Canada Bay Council partnered with numerous groups such as Straight Talk and newDemocracy to create a panel of 36 randomly chosen individuals that was responsible for making the best decisions for the society as a whole. 1,500 surveys were created and distributed from the Council to citizens from the electoral roll, which is where the 36 random individuals were chosen. The panel met on 5 different occasions across a 2 ½ month period and was responsible for evaluating city services and creating a new system that included a projected 4-year plan with a $300 million budget. In more detail, the panel reviewed the standard and level of discretionary and mandatory services, as well as funding mechanisms. As a group, the panel was successfully able to identify services that were previously overlooked by the Council, reduced a number of overused services, recognized a shortage in funding for long-term maintenance and most importantly, found some new sources of revenue. All of these results were packaged together in a 45-page summary with further evaluations of the Council’s current operations. This summary was forwarded to the City Council and mayor for further evaluation and hopefully, approval.","In 2012, the City of Canada Bay Council proposed an innovative method of deliberative democracy  to obtain the advice of citizens in making decisions for the range and quality of council services for the period 2014-18.

"Year of Civil Discourse on Israel - Bay Area, California","erg5uw","The Year of Civil Discourse on Israel was a year long initiative organized by the Jewish Community Relations Council of San Francisco, The Peninsula, Marin, Sonoma, Alameda, and Contra Costa Counties. The Initiative was designed to foster discussion and community building among the Bay Area Jewish Community over disagreements regarding the Israel-Palestine conflict. From December 2010 to December 2011 a number of events were held to help tackle this issue, such as facilitator training sessions and book and movie reviews. Following the Initiative, the community was once again able to institute Israel themed programs throughout the community and have meaningful, respectful discussions. Organizers and participants of the Year of Civil Discourse are now influencing and trying to find more ways to get involved with the national discussion of the Israeli-Palestinian issue.","The Year of Civil Discourse on Israel was a year long initiative organized by the Jewish Community Relations Council of San Francisco, The Peninsula, Marin, Sonoma, Alameda, and Contra Costa Counties.
