GovNet Release
The city government today officially launched GovNet, a groundbreaking digital platform designed to streamline how residents and businesses access city services, information, and opportunities. The release marks a significant step in the city's ongoing efforts to modernize public service delivery and increase transparency.
For Residents: Simpler Access to Services
GovNet offers a user-friendly interface where residents can submit requests in areas such as handicap permits, city services, citation information and much more,, and access essential information—all from one central location. The platform aims to eliminate the frustration and inefficiency of navigating old clunky websites or making in-person visits.
For Businesses: Data Control and Transparency
Businesses also stand to benefit from the new platform. GovNet allows business owners to view and manage the information the city has on file, request updates or corrections, and track compliance requirements more easily. We hope the tool will assist local businesses and their communication with the Department of Finance.
New Job Portal Streamlines Employment Access
One of GovNet’s standout features is a newly integrated job portal, designed to help residents find and apply for jobs within city departments and affiliated initiatives. The portal offers filters by department with an easy-to-use application process and real-time application tracking.
The portal will help bridge employment gaps by making city jobs more accessible and attractive to a broader range of candidates.
Looking Ahead
The city plans to continue expanding GovNet’s capabilities in the coming months, including moving more services across to the platform. Feedback from residents will play a key role in shaping future updates.
"We're treating this like a living system," said Chief Information Officer Harrison White. "This is just the beginning.".
