New Records Law

[Joshua Smith]

I guess it’s still a draft, but it definitely looks like having open meeting minutes available and searchable on the web is going to be required for agencies, and encouraged for municipalities.

The good news is that this is already fully supported on the mytowngovernment.org site. Right now there is no dedicated search feature, but google search does fully index the site and all documents on it. I’ll figure out how to add a “search” box to the site in the coming weeks to make that easy for people to take advantage of.

Right now we have about 5GB of minutes on the site, which also happens to be the free quota Google gives me for document storage. But the good news is that the price of additional storage is absurdly cheap. I could store twice that amount for just a couple bucks a year. So unless something changes in the way google prices things, it’s still more trouble than it’s worth to charge you all for the hundred bucks or so a year it costs me to run this thing.

As the regulations firm up, please be sure to let me know right away if there are specific changes you’ll need me to make to ensure you remain compliant.

Happy New Year!
