NJ Municipality Checklist: Are You Compliant?

On August 25, 2010, New Jersey governor Chris Christie released a checklist of local government best practices to mayors across the state.  This checklist provides financial incentives for municipalities to meet the guidelines.

The checklist includes the following guidelines related to local government “e-Gov” web sites:

Does your municipality maintain an up-to-date municipal website containing, but not limited to the following?

1. Both proposed and adopted budgets for at least 3 years;
2. Notification(s) for solicitation of Bids and RFPs;
3. Employee business contact information;
4. Minutes and Agendas – Governing Body, Planning Board, Board of Adjustment and Commissions;
5. Proposed ordinances for public hearing and all other required public notices;

The complete checklist can be found on the state’s website here:

Each local government is required to submit this checklist by October 1.  State funding will be impacted based on the percentage of items checked.

These new guidelines make it imperative for local governments to establish a web site with integrated content management system (CMS) that will enable employees to easily keep all information current.
