Town receives award for website application

The town of Longboat Key received an award from the Florida Local Government Information Systems Association  for its "Fiscal Transparency" website application during the association's annual summer conference in Boca Raton July 23.

The town was recognized for Innovative Use of Technology to Service for the website application.

The application developed by the town displays Longboat Key’s budget, expenses and revenues in simple pie charts and tables.

Located on the town’s home webpage, the application allows residents to review and inspect detailed monetary information from the town budget for up to five years at one time.

Information Technology Director Kathi Pletzke and Finance Director Sue Smith were instrumental in winning the award for the application, which highlights the town’s commitment to efficient and effective government.
