In an effort to educate the public, the Jacksonville City Council Legislative Services Division held its first public-facing PegTalk on Thursday, April 20 to show ways to access its updated Legislative Gateway platform at jaxcityc.legistar.com. The goal was to teach users how to access Jacksonville City Council meetings in progress, current or past legislation, find a bill that a council member introduced or get a copy of the vote for a certain bill. Chief of Legislative Services Merriane Lahmeur said the idea was for this platform to be a “one-stop shop for all your legislative processing needs.” New features and tabs have been added to allow more transparency in a clear, efficient and effective way, she added. They have also included linked archived materials — items prior to July of 2019 — and the city’s online code and charter. READ MORE ON PAGE 20
