On October 28, 2009 the Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution 2009-205 establishing a County transparency policy in furtherance of its goals of open government and transparency. The resolution established a policy of disclosing relevant government information "as quickly as possible in forms the public can readily find and use ..." and providing for regular release of information in paper form, through audio and video broadcasts, through the County's Internet website, through County's Public Information Specialist and through in-person communication. The Board of County Commissioners amended Resolution 2009-205 on May 31, 2011, with Resolution 2011- 72 to modify the requirements for the broadcasting of public meetings contained within the County Transparency Policy to reflect the results of the County Priorities Survey.
In further pursuit of the goal of open and transparent government, the Board of County Commissioners desires to establish a web-based "Sunshine Information Portal" to improve the public instant internet access to County budgets, contracts, expenditures, revenue and other information.
Resolution 2011- 26 enacted the web-based County Sunshine Public Information Portal that provides public access to County government budgets, contracts, expenditures, revenue, employee data and other public information. The Resolution passed unanimously at the Board of County Commissioners Meeting on February 22, 2011.
