Please
see our March
Newsletter which contains the minutes from our
February meeting and our March meeting agenda.
Please make sure
to read your minutes from February – we had three
important resolutions come out of those meetings.
One regarding
the future of our shorelines and two regarding the future
of Tiscornia Estates.
See the PRNC Resolutions regarding Tiscornia Estates >>
Our March meeting will focus on Code
and Ordinance enforcement, which has been a source of
frustration and confusion
for so many of us.
We hope
to have lots of information and tips on how to make sure
that codes and ordinances are enforced in our neighborhoods. |

With no fanfare, a new way to ask questions, post requests or make complaints via the Internet is now available through the City of Richmond website. It is called cor-connect - Contact City Hall and can be accessed from the City of Richmond home page at www.ci.richmond.ca.us. No one told me about it. I simply stumbled onto it looking for something else. This new feature is apparently in addition to the GIS LINKED CITY SERVICE REQUEST (place a direct order for service here) that was the subject of a November 26, 20005, E-FORUM.Once you are into COR-Connect, you must log in if you are a new user and then simply follow the instructions, copied below:
To use COR-Connect, please follow these three easy steps:
- Choose a topic and subtopic that matches the subject of your request. This will allow us to quickly and efficiently route your request to the appropriate staff member.
Create an account so that you can track the status of your inquiry and response on-line 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. While it is not necessary to establish an account to contact the City through this service, it does help City staff more effectively establish a communication link with you.
- Write and submit your request.
Richmond seems to be making explosive strides in the area of customer service access. I would be interested in hearing from citizens what their experiences are using this. - Tom Butt |
You can now place a “service notification” with the City of Richmond via the Internet.
This may be for a pothole, a pile of trash in the street, a stopped up sewer line, a non-functioning street light or a neighbor building a room addition without a permit. This type of request creates a permanent record of when it was made and to which department it was forwarded.
You can start by going to the City of Richmond web site at www.ci.richmond.ca.us and clicking on place a direct order for service here or directly to the web page http://sapweb.ci.richmond.ca.us/notification/index.asp.
Go
to the “REPORT” tab and enter the location
by street address, cross street or parcel number,
and click on “GO.
Under
the “REPORT” tab, click “CREATE NOTIFICATION.” Ignore
the “SAP Login” box, which is for City employees
only. Select the “Problem,” and fill in “Short
Description” and “Additional Information.” Then
click “Submit."
Later
you can go to the “NOTIFICATION” tab find
out of the service request response has been completed
or what the estimated date for completion is.
would
be interested in feedback from people who have used
this as to whether or not it is working for you and
whether the problems you reported were addressed. - Tom
Butt
