The Civic Packet
PTI’s materials are public documents, kept current. What PTI presents to officials is presented to everyone — the same papers, in the open, free of charge. Start with the mission, then go as deep as you choose.
Mission Statement
Why the Initiative exists: strengthen the structures through which communities govern themselves.
Structural Overview
What PTI is, how it works — study, draft, present, provide — its three layers, and what it is not.
Governance Concepts
The premise, and the seven concepts: stated standards, consistency, readable records, response timelines, accessible data, process before personality, local first.
Community Guidelines
The seven rules every PTI room runs on, and the guidelines that stand behind them.
Start Your Own
The replication page. The model is free to copy; that is the point of it.
Who Represents You?
The public-access board: every official representing Waukesha County — County Board, countywide offices, Madison, and Washington — checked against official sources and kept current as offices change hands.
The packet grows as documents are finalized. What is published here is the current, complete packet.
