The Orange County Register interviewed our the new Mayor of Jim Winder. Jim has a tech theme for his Mayorship of Yorba Linda – The Land of Gracious Living.
What does this mean?
Jim says he “is ready to usher in a new wave of technology to the city of Yorba Linda”.
Does this help the residents of Yorba Linda?
It very possibly could. He has already implemented Webcasting of the City Council Meetings. Yorba Linda City Council Meetings Webcast
Quoted from OC Register article
Q:How does this movement toward high-tech benefit citizens and their quality of life?
A:People in Yorba Linda, like elsewhere, are very busy with a lot of things. This is a family community and they’ve got to get kids to and from school and help with homework and do all those kinds of things. Gas being what it is, the ability to sign up on a computer during a dead moment, instead of driving down to City Hall clearly contributes to positive things in people’s lives.
What the Yorba Linda City Council should do (along with every other city, county, state, etc…) is have their own blog so us technology hip people can subscribe to the blog and not have to visit the websites to get updates.
It looks like Jim might have some good ideas and goals for the City of Yorba Linda. Maybe Jim would leave a comment here or we will try to get our own interview with Jim to post here. so he can expand on his thoughts from the original OC Register article.
