City Website Now Fully Searchable

One of my biggest complaints about the city website during the Open Government Task Force meeting was that the PDFs weren’t searchable. The city clerk kept track of all the city council votes on the various ordinances but they were logged in PDFs I couldn’t search. So in order to find out how a particular councilmember voted on any given topic you had to know the exact meeting the vote was held and download that specific PDF - a cumbersome process to be sure.
Well I’m happy to report that the city’s Google search is now indexing their PDFs (and other documents) so you can find this information without needing any a priori knowledge about the date a vote occurred. Small things like this make a big difference to citizens using the city’s website so kudos to Clifford Clark for taking the task force input seriously…
