Q.9. Can the City sponsor a blog location for residents to post comments on the Storm Water Management and FDD programs? 

A.9. The City’s website requires strict security protocol to protect its function from cyber attacks, which makes it challenging to add functions that allow for input from unsecure networks. However, we worked with the City’s IT department and explored online tools that would allow the SSWWEP CAC to post questions and comments with a date stamp and to be notified of responses. Basecamp and wiki tools were two options explored. After reviewing the options, functions and solicit desired capabilities at the December 12 meeting, we selected and implemented Basecamp.

As for non-CAC members, the City does encourage residents to provide comments on the City’s GovDelivery email list, to continue to email City personnel and to provide comments at public meetings. 

There are no comments.
