In an effort to improve transparency, accessibility, and citizen engagement, County Clerk Pete Duncan announced today the launch of a newly updated County Board agenda and minute website. This revamped platform provides a user-friendly interface that will allow residents and stakeholders to easily access meeting agendas, minutes, and other relevant documents from the County Board meetings.
“The goal of this update is to ensure that every resident has easy access to the information they need regarding County Board meetings and decisions that impact our community,” said County Clerk Pete Duncan. “By improving the design and functionality of this website, we are enhancing transparency and fostering a more informed and engaged citizenry.”
Key features of the new website include:
- Real-time Updates: Agendas and minutes are now posted in real-time, ensuring that the public has access to the latest meeting information as soon as it becomes available.
- Searchable Content: Users can now easily search past agendas and minutes by date, topic, or keywords, allowing for more convenient access to specific information.
- Enhanced Accessibility: The website is fully optimized for mobile devices, enabling residents to view agendas and minutes on the go.
- Meeting Agenda Email Subscriptions: The website lets users subscribe to any and all agendas they would like to receive by email.
- Guest Speaker Sign-Up: Users can sign up to address the Board directly on the site and receive confirmation that they will be able to speak to the Board as well as receive the rules governing speaking to the Board.
This initiative aligns with Clerk Duncan’s commitment to enhancing public accessibility to government processes and fostering a culture of openness and accountability. By improving the County Board’s digital presence, Duncan aims to empower residents to stay informed and participate more actively in local government affairs.
The updated website is now live and can be accessed at www.macoupinminutes.com. For more information or assistance navigating the site, residents are encouraged to contact the County Clerk’s office at 217 854-3214 ext 918.
