City Hall has launched a modern new Web site with a revised organization, multiple navigation schemes and new graphics.
The primary navigation menu is organized around the type of user who may be using the site: Visitors, residents, business people, those familiar with the government structure or those looking for a particular service.
There is a new and extensive customer services directory and “City Hall on Call” also is featured on the site, matching online more than 300 informational messages about city services, programs and activities that are available around-the-clock on a telephone-based system by calling (310) 458-8999.
The site also features a wealth of information for those wishing to conduct business in the city. A searchable online business directory lists Santa Monica business license holders organized by category. There is an ample reference section online to assist business owners with information about the business climate, fees, regulations, taxes, special districts, zoning, plus more. There also is an E-pay center at bill-pay.santa-monica.org that enables online payments for utility bills, business licenses, recreation classes and parking citations.
City Hall offers more than 20,000 web pages of information and services online.
