Sticks of Fire: a Tampa blog

Among other things, the Clerk of the Circuit Court is responsible for keeping the official records of the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners. In addition to keeping the minutes of official meetings and any other official documents, the Clerk’s BOCC Records department also records every vote made by the commission.

BOCC Records maintains the Master Voting Record for the Board of County Commissioners, which shall be open for public inspection. The program identifies the attendance of each Commissioner and how they voted on all issues.

That information has always been available to the public, but recently the Master Voting Record has been put online. As with most government record keeping, they are a couple months behind, but allowing access like this so constituents can take a look from the comfort of home is always a good thing.

By the way, the Clerk’s Office’s website was recently redesigned by Tampa Digital Studios, and subsequently selected to receive one of the JUSTICE SERVED Top Ten Court Website Awards for 2007. We found that by reading Clerk of the Circuit Court Pat Frank’s blog, Frank Talk Blog.
