Community: The City of Santa Ana Expands its Open Government Capabilities/La Ciudad de Santa Ana amplía sus capacidades de Gobierno Abierto

SANTA ANA – In an effort to champion Open Government, the City of Santa Ana recently launched an agenda subscription service, where residents can sign up to receive real-time notifications for all official public meetings held in the City of Santa Ana, including City Council meetings, Council Committee meetings, various board and commission meetings, and more. The new service, which can be found on our Open Government webpage www.santa-ana.org/opengov, alerts subscribers when agendas for these meetings are available, and sends those agendas directly to them.

The agenda subscription service is part of an existing Open Government platform that provides an array of accessible information. On the City Meetings webpage (santa-ana.org/coc/granicus.asp ), residents can find a calendar of all official public meetings, which includes meeting agendas and corresponding documents, meeting minutes, and videos, all of which date back to 2014. Other Open Government features found on our website include a public records submission form where the public can request public records, as well as access to public documents, such as budget information, calendars, employee salary information, financial reports, and more.

In addition, the City utilizes social media, including Facebook, Twitter, and Nixle, to engage the community and to share key information. Links to City’s social media can also be found on the Open Government webpage.

“The City has made significant progress towards open and transparent government to better inform and serve the Santa Ana community,” said Mayor Miguel A. Pulido. “This is yet another effort that improves the public’s access to government,” he said.

“While increasing Open Government capabilities is an ever-evolving process, the City recognizes the need for a sustained effort to increase transparency and access to information, noted Mayor Pro Tem Michele Martinez. “By increasing access to information, we’re able to hold ourselves accountable, improve government transparency, and build trust with the public,” she added.

For additional information, please contact the Clerk of the Council Office at (714) 647-6520 or visit the Clerk of the Council homepage at santa-ana.org/coc.
