Amends City Charter to require a website providing information about City boards, including an application to fill vacancies, and requires training and orientation for new board members.
A “YES” vote will mandate that the city establish such a website and training.
A “NO” vote will not mandate such a website and training.
ABSTRACT: Currently there is no requirement that the City maintain a publicly accessible website for information about the numerous boards, commissions, committees and other public bodies that conduct many elements of City business. While there is some information regarding some of these bodies on a City website, much of this information is not kept up to date or is just missing, Also, there is no formal way for members of the public body to know about opportunities items to serve on these bodies or for persons appointed to these boards to get orientation or training to serve on such bodies. This local law will mandate that the City maintain a website to provide this information to the public and to provide orientation and training to persons appointed to such boards.
What a yes vote means
A "yes" vote supports requiring a website to be published that provides information about city boards, including an application to fill vacancies and training and orientation materials for new board members.
