A documented transparency initiative

The city said the portal consolidated material previously scattered across different sites, including financial reports, public meeting information and other operational data. It is intended to help residents find records without knowing which department maintains them. The announcement also invites suggestions for improvements, making the portal an identifiable administrative action supporting her transparency agenda. [2]
