A state city clerks association has given Laguna Beach City Clerk Verna L. Rollinger its Award of Distinction for creating a computer communications system that offers the public a wide range of information about the city.
The system, dubbed Laguna Access, offers two computer pathways that residents can use to get information about Laguna Beach, including City Council agendas and bus schedules.
They can use a modem to connect to a “bulletin board” or visit the city’s Web site, which includes graphics and photographs.
Other information available on Laguna Access includes annual reports, census data, city employment opportunities and classes offered through the Recreation Department.
Rollinger, who has been city clerk 21 years, said she began designing the program two years ago so residents would have access to accurate information 24 hours a day.
“Eight to five isn’t handy for everybody,” she said.
Rollinger’s award was one of seven presented last month at the City Clerks’ Assn. of California’s annual conference in Santa Clara.
