City of Sparks recently issued the following announcement.
CITY OF SPARKS LAUNCHES NEW PUBLIC-FACING WEBSITE
This City of Sparks is launching a brand-new public-facing website. Starting tomorrow, online visitors to http://www.cityofsparks.us will find an enhanced experience designed to simplify finding needed information quickly. Additionally, the Fire, Police and Parks and Recreation departments each have new subsites that include quick links to the most requested services and contact information.
“As our city continues to grow, we knew that we needed a robust way to provide our residents with the information they need quickly and efficiently,” said Sparks City Manager Neil Krutz. “Our teams worked collaboratively across all departments to identify the priorities and streamline our website navigation to create a better user experience. The goal was to provide the most requested information upfront while ensuring that all our programs and services are easily accessible.”
The updated, contemporary site includes a new “City Help Center” located on the main homepage, providing one-click access to city meetings, city services, key departments, job opportunities and more. There are also specific “Sparks News” and “Meetings and Events” sections.
Additionally, the new “How Do I” section provides quick access to some of the most highly requested information including how to report issues, pay for city services, submit public records requests, view city maps and much more.
In addition to being mobile responsive, the new website is also ADA compliant and has the ability to translate into different languages to ensure that city information is accessible to all individuals.
Residents are encouraged to subscribe to the new website’s Enotify system to stay up-to-date on happenings within the city including emergency alerts, police and fire updates, city news and meeting agendas. Users may opt in to receive these enotifications via email and/or text by clicking here: https://cms7.revize.com/revize/sparksnv/enotify/index.php.
“It’s important to note that those who are currently receiving notifications from the city will need to sign up through the new notification system,” said Community Relations Manager Julie Duewel.
