Kenneth City Implementing Electronic Records and Document Management
Kenneth City, FL – 1/5/23 – The Town of Kenneth City has signed an agreement with Information Consultants, Inc. and has started implementation of the Laserfiche platform. Staff from Information Consultants was onsite today assisting Town staff beginning the process of digitizing Building Department documents.
“The Town is continuing efforts using American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to improve transparency, resiliency and efficiency” said Rob Duncan, Interim Town Manager for Kenneth City. “This solution will allow for improved speed at responding to public records requests and reduce costs since the records can be accessed anytime from anywhere with an internet connection.”
The software has been installed, two scanners for the clerk’s office and front desk have been purchased, and training has commenced, staff is currently on week five of a ten-week implementation and training schedule and expect to conclude all training by mid-February. During the first five weeks staff has been focusing on building development and human resource files.
Staff is looking into options for outsourcing a bulk of the scanning and exploring the concept of using students to carry out the scanning of building files and potentially other files that are not confidential.
