[edit] Website evaluation

Main article: Evaluation of Virginia county websites


[edit] The good

  • Contact information and term dates of county board members are posted.[1]
  • Names and contact information for county administrative officials are provided.[2]
  • County board meeting agendas[3] and minutes[4] for current and past years are provided.
  • County budgets[5] for current and previous years are posted.

[edit] The bad

  • Only the current year's audited annual financial report is posted.[6]
  • It appears the website only lists bid requests, but not awarded contracts.[7]
  • No information regarding FOIA requests is posted, and no record of the county's FOIA compliance is available.
  • There is no information regarding any relations with lobbying associations the county might have. But the Virginia Association of Counties[8] lists the county as a member.
