BACKGROUND
Contra Costa County officials have been dealing for some time with allocating sufficient
resources to optimize the county's presence on the Internet. These efforts have been extensive
and dealt with.many subjects both internal and external. This endeavor has been far ranging and
costly. While we have worked on many inner service problems, such as payroll, e-mail and
basic information we have not focused as intently on the matter of e-commerce and maximizing
the potential of services for the public through our web site. Living on the rim of the world's
technology capital,the residents of Contra Costa County want to do more than read about county
departments and services. They need our web site as a tool. We need to provide the significant
final push to providing new services online;however,before we look at what we can realistically
accomplish,each department needs to create its own internet mission and evaluate the services it
can provide online. Money allocated for this purpose will be a wise and prudent investment in a
future of which we will all be a part.
