Cooper City debuts redesigned website and transparency portal with budget drilldowns and app
Summary
The city previewed a redesigned website and mobile app that include an interactive transparency portal (budget-to-actuals, check register), road‑condition maps and an events calendar; officials said the site and app will go live within days and additional permitting and project dashboards will follow in mid‑September.
City staff demonstrated a redesigned website and companion mobile app intended to give residents easy access to budgets, check registers and interactive maps. The finance director showed a transparency dashboard that links monthly financial reports to visual drilldowns by department and line item, allowing users to view budget vs. actuals and the monthly check register online.
The web lead said the app supports push notifications, calendar syncing and event filtering and that the administration aims to launch the site within days, with additional project dashboards and an online permitting workflow to follow by mid‑September. Commissioners praised the progress as a notable transparency improvement and asked staff to ensure the site reflects any state executive‑order transparency requirements.
