City taking steps toward electronic record keeping

Monday, December 3, 2012

Jefferson City is moving forward with a project to switch to an electronic record keeping system, hoping to make city information more available to the general public.

Last year, the City Council began exploring the possibilities of moving to a paperless system, including electronic council agendas and an electronic filing system for city records. Last summer, council members and department directors received iPads and council agendas, as well as a number of council committees, have moved to a paperless system.

On Tuesday, the City Council is expected to approve an upgrade to the city’s document management software that will allow for an expanded system of electronic record keeping.

The city's online PDF bus schedules (High Stree East anyway) are presently out of date. The paper schedules the bus drivers have are up-to-date so there is a current version ready to be placed on the city's web site, pay attention! New initiatives are cool, fun, magnetic to administrators. Routine tasks are boring, but far more important. I'm all for getting electronic records on-line, but the City of Jefferson needs to take care of business first.

Agree. Nothing more frustrating than searching for information and then finding that it is not accurate. Got to get the basics fixed before implementing all the sexy stuff.
