Access & Transparency

While serving as your City Councilmember and the Chair, we: 

• Launched our new Council website to streamline the navigation experience and increase community engagement with tools enabling residents to readily find their council representative; legislation, watch live meetings and more. 
• Implemented a special feature, the Hale Ho‘okele portal, which answers questions about council processes including the city budget; provides up-to-date community resources as well as instruction on submitting testimony, and connects people with their council members.
• Introduced legislation to require the city to provide data-rich electronic reports to increase transparency and trust with the public. 
• Funded a position for a Chief Technology Officer to serve the Department of Information Technology and the city as a whole.
