Understanding City Decision-Making – Mock Council in Action! One of the highlights of this week’s Resident Leadership Academy session was the Mock Council exercise, where participants stepped into the role of city leaders to experience firsthand how local government decisions are made. Led by the Department of Legal and Administrative Services, participants engaged in thoughtful discussions, debated key issues, and voted on proposals just like Common Council! While Mayor Woodford (aka "Mr. Fun") made a compelling case for the Houdini Ferris Wheel project, the votes didn’t go in his favor this time. This hands-on experience provided valuable insight into the complexities of city governance and the decision-making process that shapes our community.

During our first session, the participants explored key areas of city operations, including IT, Finance, Office of the Mayor, and Legal & Administrative Services. Each department provided valuable information into how they support Appleton’s growth and community needs. Thank you to our presenters for making the session informative, engaging, and impactful! #appletonengaged #residentleadershipacademy #civiceducation
