County Web site upgrades continue

County Web site

upgrades continue

Fayette County's

Web site has added still more new services.

The site, at

www.admin.co.fayette.ga.us , is being updated and upgraded, not

as a onetime project, but as an ongoing process, says webmaster Marc Rogers.

"We want

to get to where the folks use the web site as an alternative to picking

up the phone," said Rogers, who is working full-time to enhance the

site.

The last week

of January saw the addition of the Public Library area to the Web site.

Users have access to a calendar of events that is constantly updated;

a listing of library services, including genealogy information; and, through

Public Information Network for Electronic Services, the ability to search

the catalogs of the Public Library and over 100 PINES libraries in Georgia.

Material on

the Friends of the Library, a listing and description of Computer Assisted

Instruction classes, and library policies, including Internet use, also

is posted.

Also of interest

is the history link, which has information on the earliest days of the

library and pictures of the original library. There is a Public Library

button on the county's home page that will take users directly to the

library's Web area.

"Members

of the library staff, including [director] Chris Snell and Beverly Snow,

were extremely helpful in pulling together the library's Web site,"

said Rogers.

The Board of

Elections and Voter Registration area has undergone some changes. If someone

you know needs to register to vote, the state of Georgia application for

voter registration is available for download in a PDF format.

In addition,

the application for oabsentee ballot form is available in PDF format.

The Question and Answer area has been updated to include information concerning

2001 elections.

Visitors to

the Recreation Department area are now able to download registration forms

for classes. Once again, this is a PDF version of the department's registration

form.

The Water System

is another new addition to the county's Web site. The Water System area

has information on administration, storage/system improvements, helpful

hints and related items. To view the Water System's area, go to the county's

main page and select Water System from the "jump-to" menu.
