CIS’s are filed with the City Clerk and appear on city documents and legislation with the Neighborhood Councils official position. The filing of a CIS also allows Neighborhood Councils to provide testimony at City Council and commission hearings pertaining to the submitted statement. This allows city leaders and policymakers to understand the impact of pending legislation and policy on the neighborhood scale and allows the public to participate in the decision-making process more locally.
