In an effort to increase transparency, the City of Duarte is implementing new software for the City’s website: Laserfiche, a document management system, and NetFile, a campaign filing system. Both Laserfiche and NetFile will ensure all government-related documents are easily accessible to Duarte residents and will allow residents to find City records and information without having to submit a public records request. The public portals are set to go live in December 2022.
Through the Laserfiche public portal, Duarte community members will be able to search for City documents using the public portal link found on the City Clerk webpage of the City’s website. In the public portal, you can easily look up and view all City Council meeting minutes, City resolutions, ordinances, and contracts. The City is currently uploading items into the system in preparation for the launch before the end of the calendar year.
Duarte residents have the ability to view campaign filings via the NetFile public portal. Additionally, residents can use the tool to view and sort through election-related forms and find campaign financing information for any Duarte campaign or election. The NetFile public portal also removes the need to submit a public records request. The NetFile link can be found on the City Clerk page of the City’s website.
The City looks forward to providing easier access to City documents and election information through these two new public portals. Laserfiche and NetFile will aid the City and the Duarte City Clerk office’s goal of promoting open government and encouraging efforts to increase transparency between local government and the Duarte community.
