On December 17, 2020, the council decided, as a pilot, to organize political-administrative decision-making in a different way from the currently usual way of working with council committees. With this trial, the council intended the following:
- Increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of decision-making, including by taking the lead role more often as a council;
- Connect to the PDO (Opinion, Judgment and Decision Making) model in policymaking;
- Increasing citizen involvement.
In this model, there is emphatic room for resident input in the image-forming and judgmental deliberations.
