Townhall Idaho website now has a search function, notification option

A new feature of the townhall.idaho.gov website now allows people to subscribe to receive public meeting notifications from almost 200 state agencies, boards and commissions.

They’ll also be able to search meetings and do a test search to find information in meeting documents.

“Users asked for enhancements to our portal, and my team listened to those requests and took action,” said State Controller Brandon Woolf in a news release. “Every enhancement was created to make the functionality of Townhall Idaho more user-friendly and encourage greater engagement by our citizens.”

Woolf and Gov. Brad Little launched the Townhall Idaho website earlier this year as a way to improve transparency in government.

“Enhancing Idahoans’ confidence in their state government has been a key priority of mine since day one,” Little said. “Townhall.Idaho.Gov makes it easier for the public to understand and engage with their government.”
