SEC. 67.29-2. INTERNET ACCESS/WORLD WIDE WEB MINIMUM STANDARDS.
§ 67.29-2
City departments must maintain publicly accessible websites with legally required information, including meeting notices, agendas, and minutes from the past three years, posted according to specified timelines. Departments must review and update their websites at least weekly, and the City must also provide online access to the City Charter and all City Codes.
Every department of San Francisco must put required public information on a website or comparable internet location. At minimum, within six months, departments must post meeting notices, agendas, and minutes from the past three years. Notices and agendas should go online when the department shares them with the public; meeting minutes must be posted within 48 hours of approval. Departments should update their websites at least once a week to keep information current. The City must also make the Charter and all City Codes available online.
- Complex:The section contains multiple overlapping requirements with different timelines (six months, concurrent with public distribution, within 48 hours, weekly updates) that could be clearer if reorganized by compliance deadline.
- Could be simpler:The phrase 'on a World Wide Web site, or on a comparable, readily accessible location on the Internet' is repetitive and could be streamlined to reduce redundancy while preserving the flexibility it intends.

Official text
Each department of the City and County of San Francisco shall maintain on a World Wide Web site, or on a comparable, readily accessible location on the Internet, information that it is required to make publicly available. Each department is encouraged to make publicly available through its World Wide Web site, as much information and as many documents as possible concerning its activities. At a minimum, within six months after enactment of this provision, each department shall post on its World Wide Web site all meeting notices required under this ordinance, agendas and the minutes of all previous meetings of its policy bodies for the last three years. Notices and agendas shall be posted no later than the time that the department otherwise distributes this information to the public, allowing reasonable time for posting. Minutes of meetings shall be posted as soon as possible, but in any event within 48 hours after they have been approved. Each department shall make reasonable efforts to ensure that its World Wide Web site is regularly reviewed for timeliness and updated on at least a weekly basis. The City and County shall also make available on its World Wide Web site, or on a comparable, readily accessible location on the Internet, a current copy of the City Charter and all City Codes.
