Open City Hall | City of Delray Beach, Florida

By using Open Town Hall thought its website, Delray Beach is able to send upcoming agendas out to its residents and they are able to comment on agenda items without coming to a public meeting.  Names and addresses are taken so that one knows whether or not the person leaving the comment is a constituent or not. That information can be left public or concealed from other readers.  It's an attempt to engage the public in an electronic manner that I had not seen before.  It seems that many communities across the United States are using this system.  Check out the links above.
