City of West Des Moines issued the following announcement on July 9.
The City of West Des Moines is partnering with Tyler Technologies to create a financial transparency website that makes the City’s expense and revenue information open and accessible for residents.
Users are now able to view financial data, including budgeted and actual transactions for the current fiscal year, as well as historical information from previous years, through a link on the City’s website.
The information is updated weekly and tools within the program sort data and create graphs by category, department, function, fund or vendor. Users have access to information covering every level of finance, from fiscal year total to detailed vendor payments.
City Manager Tom Hadden said the new website has been a high priority for the City.
“Open government is critical for maintaining public confidence and trust in local government,” he said. “This website provides an easy way for people to find out how their City allocates resources and funds programs and services that make West Des Moines a great place to live.”
The new West Des Moines – Open Finance website is powered by Socrata and offered through Tyler Technologies. Anyone can access the site by visiting www.wdm.iowa.gov and clicking on the Financial Transparency link in the Finance Department menu.
