Fifth District Councilmember Gerrie Schipske is inviting the public to learn how to track the activities of the Long Beach City Council at the next meeting of Open Up Long Beach, an event designed to make city government more open, transparent and accountable.
“Long Beach City Clerk Larry Herrera will provide a presentation on how to access the Legistar system used to track the activities of the City Council,” says Schipske. Legistar is a comprehensive, integrated document-management and information retrieval system designed specifically to support the legislative process in cities, towns, and counties. Legistar parallels and supports the customary flow of legislative operations, tracking every action taken by elected officials on important matters, along with dates, free-form notation, and individual votes where appropriate.
The Open Up Long Beach meeting will take place at 2800 N. Studebaker Rd., on Thursday, March 12, from 6:30pm to 8:30pm, and it is open to the public.
More information on the effort to make Long Beach more open, transparent and accountable can be found at openuplongbeach.com or by calling Schipske’s office at (562) 570-6932.
