RRI governance

Separate the organization, the research, and the public process.

RRI's nonprofit status, a possible future municipal incorporation, and any internal officer selection are different legal and civic processes.

Community research

Municipal incorporation

RRI is researching the benefits, costs, services, legal steps, and unanswered questions associated with possible municipal incorporation. Research is not a petition, election, or final organizational position.

Read the working research
Historical planning note. An undated RRI note estimated startup filing costs in the low hundreds and emphasized outreach and governance setup. Because it did not identify the filing, jurisdiction, or fee schedule, it is not a current budget, legal estimate, or municipal-incorporation cost projection.

Governance participation
