REQUEST:
The City Clerk is asking if the City Commission would like completed
Qualifying Documents and Election Campaign Finance Reports (prior to
and related to Qualifying) be placed on the City's Website at the
conclusion of this year's Qualifying Period (for the upcoming November
4, 2008 Municipal Election)
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this Agenda Item is to inquire whether the City
Commission would like to have Qualifying Documents and Election
Campaign Finance Reports placed on the City's Website.
CONSIDERA TIONS:
· Florida's Public Records Law permits the review and copying of many
documents, including documents submitted to qualify for an Election
along with related Financial Report documents.
· Some Municipalities have routinely scanned their documents and
placed them on their Websites. This not only provides immediate
access 24 hours a day, but streamlines the process of requesting
documents; while greatly assisting City staff and saving resources for
all parties.
