FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FORT MYERS, Fla. (April 12, 2002) – For the second
month in a row, Lee County Government’s web site has broken the record for the
total number of visits it is receiving.
The site www.lee-county.com
received 2,144,935 hits in March, or an average of 69,191 per day.
In February, the site received 2,094,474 visits.
The count includes both external and internal (from within county
government) visits, but is primarily people from the outside seeking
information.
In March, the county started posting its complete weekly
agenda packages online, making it easier for citizens to follow issues.
The packages include the Board of Lee County Commissioners’ agenda, the
one-page description of each item the Commission is being asked to approve, and
all of the supporting documentation, including contracts, agreements and legal
documents. Board agendas and backup
routinely run several hundred pages.
This is one of many technological innovations the county
has developed over the last several years to make county government information
more accessible and improve communication with the public.
Other online applications at the county’s website include:
