Forest Hills, Tennessee, wanted to expand its resources to its community by providing an online code platform and brand new website.
Throughout the city's history, residents had two ways of receiving their code: visiting city hall or calling in a request. Visiting took quite some time and proved to be an inconvenience for residents. While requests were a method that could be done without leaving the home, they could take several days to fill as staff would need to sift through various codebooks to find the specific code that was requested. It made sense for the city to explore options to host their code online in a more digital world. During this search, they soon realized Forest Hill's website needed an overhaul as well.
When it came time to pick a codification service and web designer, it made sense for Forest Hill to partner with Municode because of the integration between the two services. The online code can be accessed through the website, and both utilize the same search bar, allowing for integrated and seamless navigation. There are also intuitive features built into the code platform, such as recent changes, pending amendments, and previous versions. This gives the community a transparent view of the entire history of the Code of Ordinances. Finding specific ordinances is now much easier and a massive improvement from the physical codebooks. Staff can even email and share links to specific ordinances, allowing for streamlined communication. Forest Hill's new website also simplifies navigation and allows staff and the community to find content in three clicks or less. On the backend, the Content Management System simplifies creating and maintaining content, meaning non-technical staff can utilize it.
