More people are getting Internet access. During the legislative session, we usually double our activity. Also free of charge is a listing of public services, which includes a listing of cities on the Web, news releases from Attorney General Carla Stovall, access to the League of Kansas Municipalities and Kansas Association of Counties, and several of the state's larger counties, including Sedgwick and Johnson. As of mid-October, INK had 3,500 subscribers. The most often accessed documents are motor vehicle registration reports, sexual offender records and tax forms, according to Cook.
INK also charges for certain documents.
The content of these pages ranges from basic information to the minutes of city commission meetings. There, in addition to the obligatory pictures and information about the mayor and city council members, are some documents useful in understanding how the city works. A basic version of the city budget is available to show how much money goes to each department and program and where the money comes from. The entire city code book is on-line. Each week the agenda for the following week's agenda is printed, as are minutes of recent past meetings.
