They are able to stay informed and up-to-date about the latest happenings and upcoming events through the City News and Upcoming Events sections. The status of requested permits may be checked from the app using the permit number, APN or property address. Beach Information and facts are just about the most visited a record of the city’s website. Now surfers and beach goers can find out beach conditions with a few taps from the Citizen engagement . Beach and surf conditions given by Surfline are fed in to the app daily at 7:05am. Functions and operations will periodically be included.
Each month, town will come with a special tab to spotlight a conference or service that is unique fot it month. Dynamic information is going to be time sensitive and ever-changing as events appear and vanish. The very first such event would be the city’s upcoming airshow. The app is launching with functionality to advertise the airshow, providing all pertinent event information and including an FAQ section. Made available, is going to be parking information, and Uber and Lyft drop-off and pick-up locations. Citizens are able to report issues and incidents concerning the airshow that is to be received, tracked, and resolved by police and city officials, dependant upon issue type. The information collected is going to be valuable not only to handle the down sides because they are reported but to further improve upon citizen experience for those future events.
Look for that power to Report an Issue through the app, since the city plans to replace their current issue reporting provider using the MyCivic RAI after the new year.
