Fiscal Future Signature Project---Website

The new City website that is being developed will provide valuable information to our residents, visitors and business community. The basic format will follow these three categories. An example would be if you are a visitor to Isanti for one of our many events, you could click on the visitor tab and see a list and location of places to eat, lodge, shop and fill up with gas. A resident may be looking for the latest City Council agenda or want to look up what they would need if they wanted to finish off their basement.

An audience I hope to serve well will be those looking to locate a business in Isanti. In this area of the website you would find a list of all the commercial/industrial land that could be developed or current open buildings. We would work hand in hand with real estate agents, commercial brokers, landowners and developers to make sure we keep our information fresh and accurate.

We are also exploring the ability to have licenses and permits pulled and paid for online. This would help bring greater efficiency to City Hall and serve our residents and businesses better by allowing them to apply and pay online for permits and licenses. Not everyone can get to City Hall during the normal operating hours.

The last highlight fits this same category. Council Meetings could be broadcast on our new website. It can be difficult for individuals to make meeting times. If we have an option for residents to watch a meeting streamed over the internet or download and watch at your convenience, we will be making our government more accessible to the citizens and taxpayers in whose name we govern.

These are just a few highlights. I hope to be able to announce its launching within the month.
