municipal checks, or expenditures are forced to navigate a cumbersome, delayed, and labor-intensive <br />Public Records Request process. <br />Commissioner Stuyvesant brings forward this Resolution as a formal policy directive. The taxpayers of <br />Sunny Isles Beach have already paid for top -tier transparency software; they should not be locked out of <br />it. <br />This Resolution directs the City Administration to activate the OpenGov public portal within thirty (30) <br />days, linking it directly to the City's website so that residents can view vendor payments and check <br />registers without bureaucratic delay. <br />It must be noted on the public record that a vote against this Resolution is not a vote to save money —as <br />the software is already paid for —but rather a vote to deliberately conceal financial data that the City <br />already possesses the technological capability to publish. <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: <br />The City has already procured and funded the OpenGov software platform. Activating its public <br />transparency features will result in long-term cost savings by drastically reducing the administrative <br />staff hours currently spent fulfilling routine financial public records requests. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />Resolution <br />Item Number: 9.W <br />428 <br />
