To the Honorable, the Legislature:
We have completed a best practices review of local government operations, as directed by s.
13.94(8), Wis. Stats. This report describes the development and implementation of electronic government services by local governments in Wisconsin.
Most local governments have already met a recommendation of the Blue-Ribbon Commission on State-Local Partnerships for the 21st Century, commonly known as the Kettl Commission, that all local governments serving populations of more than 25,000 have Web sites by June 30, 2002. Only 2 of 71 local governments with this population do not currently have Web sites. Further, 54 of 77 local governments with populations between 10,000 and 25,000 have Web sites.
E-government holds the potential to improve government services by making them less costly, more convenient, and more accessible to the public. Of the Web sites we reviewed, two-thirds are used primarily to publish information such as agendas and minutes of government meetings on line. Increasingly, however, communities are developing features that allow interaction between residents and the government by allowing residents to send e-mail to local officials, print forms and applications, and in some cases pay parking tickets or other fees on line using credit cards.
Our report highlights best practices for communities to use in making their Web sites as widely accessible as possible, making them easy to use, and addressing security and privacy concerns.
We appreciate the courtesy and cooperation extended to us by the many Wisconsin county and municipal officials who responded to an electronic survey we conducted, as well as to additional questions.
Respectfully submitted,
Janice Mueller
State Auditor
