Quote from Director of Digital Communities
The Director of Digital Communities, Todd Sanders, says that cities that invest in technology capture cost savings that are critical to their continued operation and their ability to meet demands by residents for service.
“The highest-ranking cities in the survey,” says Sanders, “showed great strides in consolidating and enabling shared services, government transparency and communications interoperability. We applaud these innovators.”
Our History
The City of Pueblo has consistently performed very well in this annual survey and has finished in the top ten since 2005 with a First Place finish in 2010. I.T. Director Lori Pinz feels that the redesign of the city’s website, which focused on openness and transparency, and the joint partnerships with other governmental agencies for shared services contributed to the city’s strong finish.
Survey Breakdown
The survey is broken down into several population categories with municipalities with populations of more than 30,000 eligible to compete. The City of Pueblo was the highest ranking municipality in Colorado with its third place finish.
This year’s survey was underwritten by AT&T, and technological companies CDW-G, Hyland Software, and Symantec.
Winners will be honored at a special awards ceremony concurrent with the National League of Cities annual meeting in Phoenix, Arizona on November 11th.
