Carmel-by-the-Sea to digitize legislative records and publish public portal back to 1916
Summary
Council members said a contract was sent to digitize the city's historical legislative records and create a public portal that will include records dating back to the city's 1916 founding.
Carmel-by-the-Sea officials said the city has initiated steps to digitize its legislative records and create a public portal for online access.
“I sent a contract to digitize our historical legislative records. So, and we're gonna have a public portal on our website,” Speaker 1 said. The remarks said the digitization will include records dating back to the city's founding in 1916.
Officials said the city will test the portal before a public launch so researchers and residents can access historical legislation and minutes online. The transcript does not record the vendor name, contract amount, or a timeline for completion beyond testing.
The digitization was presented as a transparency and research tool for the community; council members said it will enable public research into city legislation and decisions dating to the early 20th century.
