Provo resident offers to fix broken county regulation links and suggests interactive agenda/footnoting
Summary
A Provo resident, Robert Stevens, told the commission many county code and health-department links are broken, offered free assistance or a BYU student project to create a searchable, footnoted repository of codes and regulations, and proposed an interactive agenda; commissioners expressed interest in reviewing the proposal.
Robert Stevens of Provo told the Utah County Commission that many links to county codes and regulations on the health-department website are broken and offered help to fix them. Stevens proposed either performing the work free of charge or facilitating a Brigham Young University student project to create a searchable, footnoted corpus of county regulations using forum software (discourse.org) or an "interactive agenda" tool like one used by Salt Lake County.
Commissioners responded positively and asked Stevens to bring an application or proposal for the county to review. Commissioner (S2) asked Stevens to file an application so county staff could evaluate it; Stevens said he would send contact information and referenced David Holland, a BYU professor, as a point of contact for the student project.
The commission thanked Stevens for the suggestion and said staff would follow up to evaluate feasibility and next steps.
