Update on Augusta's Transparency Initiative
Department:Information Technology Department
Presenter:Tameka Allen, Director
Caption:Receive as information an update on Augusta's Transparency
initiative.
Background:The City of Augusta has a longstanding goal of
transparency—ensuring that government information and
services are readily accessible to the public. The Information
Technology Department supports these efforts with technology
solutions for citizen engagement. This commitment is expressed
through the Open Government strategic initiative included in the
Information Technology Strategic Plan. At the same time,
citizens increasingly expect to be able to interact with their
government directly from their mobile devices. Secure,
convenient mobile services are necessary for Augusta to provide
excellent customer service to the public.
Analysis:The City of Augusta purchased SeeClickFix, a mobile
application for citizen engagement. The proposed name for
Augusta’s SeeClickFix application is “MyAugusta.” MyAugusta
will provide a single, easy-to-use channel for citizens to find
information, report non-emergency issues, track requests, and
access Augusta’s digital services. This tool will replace Augusta
311’s current mobile application. The successful implementation
of MyAugusta will require collaboration among many City
departments, as well as integration with Augusta’s enterprise
asset management system, Cityworks. When complete, the City
will promote the roll-out of MyAugusta with a public awareness
campaign. This campaign will include presentations at
neighborhood associations, promotion on the City’s website and
social media, and other advertisement.
Financial Impact:The purchase of the SeeClickFix application was funded through
the SPLOST VI Software Consolidation project. Ongoing
maintenance will be funded through the Information Technology
operating budget.
Alternatives:N/A
Recommendation:Receive as information an update on Augusta's Transparency
initiative.
