A new Ventura County Grand Jury report into complaints that the City of Ventura isn’t making public information readily available finds that the city is doing a good job overall.
The Grand Jury notes that the compliance rate for the timely release of records has climbed from 85% in 2014 to 92% last year. The report includes a number of recommendations to do a better job of tracking requests to insure they are being met.
The city uses a contractor to handle Freedom of Information Act requests, which can now be done online.
