Town of Eaton, Colorado, Demonstrates Commitment to Citizens’ Well-being by Enhancing Online Content & Services

The town of Eaton, Colorado, ranks the third safest community in
Colorado (SafeWise Report: The 20 Safest cities in Colorado—2017).
2017 is the second consecutive year it has achieved this
distinction. With recent website enhancements, Eaton is keeping
safety a top priority. “As one of Colorado’s safest places to live,
we demonstrate the main criteria—a commitment to the well-being of
our citizens,” says Assistant Town Administrator, Jeff Schreier.
Schreier utilizes the website to instruct citizens about how to
request police reports, view the police blotter, check the Sex
Offender Registry and report street light outages. The website also
keeps citizens up-to-date on the US85 Resurfacing Project from
Eaton to Ault, which will improve the highway’s safety.
A website serving as a go-to-source for critical news is
primarily due to a municipality’s ability to add content on demand.
Schreier explains, “Technology isn’t my background, but it became
my responsibility. I’ve learned as much as I can to create time and
cost efficiencies.” He credits Colorado Interactive (CI) and the
Statewide Internet Portal Authority’s (SIPA) easy-to-use platform
and online training materials with helping get a fast handle on the
project. “I’m busy. I was able to get quite a bit done in the
little bits of time that I had because of how easy it was. The
process never stretched me too thin.”
CI provides digital government services to
state agencies and local governments through a contract with
SIPA—the official internet portal connecting the public with
Colorado governments. The partnership’s mission allows government
leaders to focus on delivering on-demand, digital government
solutions without requests for proposals or the use of tax
appropriations. The CI/SIPA partnership has benefited more than 75
municipalities (cities, towns, villages, etc.) of all sizes
throughout Colorado.
"Regardless of a government’s size, the reliability and security
of accessing critical information through a municipality’s website
is a standard expectation from citizens,” says Colorado
Interactive’s President and General Manager, Fred Sargeson. "The
town of Eaton’s website is a great example of local government
utilizing online communication to ensure the safety of its
citizens.”
Municipalities in need of free website development and hosting
as well as payment processing through the Colorado.gov Web portal
should contact SIPA.
