The goal of the e-filing project was to give citizens better access to ethics disclosure forms and automate the past method of paper filing. City officials, employees, and candidates will now be able to fill out reports online, allowing for increased productivity and less paperwork for the City.
An added search feature enables the public to review online the assets and income sources of city officials and employees as well as the campaign contributions made to candidates and their campaign committees. Ethics officer Ginny Looney describes her thoughts on the e-filing system, “The public search feature of the e-filing system is a powerful tool that arms citizens with vital facts about the way our city operates. With this information, citizens are empowered to make more informed decisions in voting and to hold public officials accountable for their actions.” For example, citizens can view in .PDF format the campaign finance data of candidates for municipal office in this year’s elections, determine the candidates who have received contributions from specific developers and city contractors, and discover which city employees earned income in 2004 from companies doing business with the City. The disclosure forms may be viewed online at https://apps.atlantaga.gov/efile/search.asp.

Roswell, GA- April 3, 2006. This past month, DynaSis participated in Hands On Atlanta's annual Technology Service Day, a day benefiting schools and non-profits. Technology Service Day serves to educate the community on basic Internet and computer skills to bridge the digital divide among citizens of all ages and backgrounds. Companies participating in Technology Service Day helped build computer networks, teach computer education classes, landscape grounds, and paint facilities. Volunteers gathered in downtown Atlanta for a kick-off breakfast, then separated into teams for assignments across the Atlanta-metro area.
Saturday, March 18th 2006 , DynaSis volunteers came to help Atlanta based "Jesus Set the Captives Free", a non-profit organization that supports the rehabilitation of the homeless and ex-offenders by providing shelter, computer training, and faith based mentoring. The DynaSis team spent a half day building a computer network, clearing the grounds of debris, planting a vegetable garden, and painting the facility. Residents will be able to learn basic Internet and computer skills through the use of the network, as well as earn their GED online. The garden will provide a project for the residents to work on and eventually profit from through the sale of produce in the community. The shelter itself will house two individuals and a family among its three apartments, and will also provide a meeting place for others in the community to assemble for training and mentoring.
DynaSis' President David Moorman commented, "It was a rewarding experience to be able to use our skills to help people that need a second chance help themselves into a better life. Technology is becoming more and more important in everyday life and we are happy to help educate the community." Project coordinators in charge of scheduling volunteers for the event, such as Arlene Browne, work for organizations like "Jesus Set the Captives Free" on a voluntary basis. Her project is also in partnership with "Hosea Feed the Hungry" and can offer food and clothing to those in need.
