Open Government
A public record should stay findable.
Dover's transparency paths become one ledger: budget, archives, spending, code, meeting records, and the public-record request lifecycle.
Public Records
Search records, budget, code, and meetings
Records search keeps the source visible and routes residents to the right archive or request path.

Dover's open-government stack, made scannable.
Public Records Request
From intake to publication, with the audit history intact.
- ReceiveA resident submits a request and gets a trackable confirmation.
- Assign and routeThe request routes to the responsible department, with staff owner, internal collaboration notes, retention category, and due-date logged.
- ReviewResponsive documents, exemptions, redactions, and approvals stay auditable.
- RespondThe completed response is delivered and, where appropriate, made publicly viewable.
Request status tracker Concept
Residents receive a reference ID at submission and can check their request status at any time without calling City Hall. The example below shows the kind of status view the platform can surface natively or through a proven third-party records-request tool, per the City's preference.
Public transparency log Concept
Completed responses that are appropriate for public viewing are indexed here, so records requests become a permanent, searchable part of the open-government record.
Designed for Attachment D's public-record request requirement and Dover's open-government commitment. The platform can fulfill this natively or integrate a proven third-party records-request tool, per the City's preference. Legal retention settings confirmed with the City during implementation.
