Hamilton County web team reports 89% ADA remediation; officials discuss election results posting delays
Summary
Web staff reported 89% ADA remediation complete and described operational tradeoffs that delay posting election results online; county leaders agreed to draft public messaging explaining the timing and unofficial results.
Hamilton County’s web team told the ISSD Board on April 21 that ADA accessibility remediation is substantially complete and that practical constraints are complicating timely posting of election results.
Jonathan Glaser, the lead web administrator, described a quarterly usage dashboard and explained that election results are posted as the Elections Office delivers them. Kathy Williams said downloading results requires pausing ballot entry, which slows tabulation; staff must balance timely website updates against completing the count. Commissioner Christine Altman suggested posting disclaimers and links to unofficial tallies to manage public expectations. Jasmine Hazelbaker reported ADA remediation at about 89% complete, with property tax and payment pages scheduled for post‑tax‑season work. The group agreed to draft web messaging clarifying the distinction between unofficial and official results and the operational constraints that can delay postings.
The transcript records no precise timeline for when the remaining ADA tasks will finish for the tax pages and no guaranteed schedule for changes to election night posting procedures; a follow‑up task was assigned to draft website verbiage explaining delays.
