AGENDA ITEM REQUEST FORM
COMMISSION MEETING DATE:  7/19/2016
REQUESTED ACTION BY COMMISSION:  Announcement of the launch for the Development Department's webpage for Current Development Projects.
EXPLANATION OF REQUEST: 

In response to community needs and to remain transparent, the Development Department has been pursuing a series of measures to underpin the principle of transparency in the organization’s operations. It is envisioned these efforts will not only make information about our work easier to access, understand and use, but further support ongoing endeavors to make the organization more efficient, responsive, collaborative and better able to deliver information to the citizens of Boynton Beach.

The Current Development Projects webpage is presented to the citizens of the City of Boynton Beach as a single point of reference to review and provide access on development projects within the City. The webpage includes information about development projects, applications, drawings, location maps, staff comments, applicants’ responses, and upcoming hearing dates. The data on each section of the Current Development Projects webpage will be updated regularly, and identifies the most-recent information and schedules. 

 

Adjustments will be made to the document, and information provided, based on public feedback. In the future, additional software may be considered for an enhanced user experience.

HOW WILL THIS AFFECT CITY PROGRAMS OR SERVICES?

Ensure that information is consistently and proactively made public. The webpage will serve as good aggregators for relevant documents about development and help in standardizing what is available.

Information will be presented in plain and readily comprehensible language and formats appropriate for different stakeholders. It will retain the detail and information necessary for analysis, evaluation and participation. Information will be made available in ways appropriate for different audiences.

Information will be made available in sufficient time to permit analysis, evaluation and engagement by relevant stakeholders. Information will be managed so that it is up-to-date, accurate, and complete.
