The City of Valparaiso,  the Clerk-Treasurer’s office and the IT Director have long been committed to complete transparency.  We have spent many hours providing the public with years of meeting minutes, ordinances and resolutions on our web site.

In an effort to increase transparency in financial reporting, the City of Valparaiso is offering an interactive reporting tool that allows citizens to explore the city’s financial data online in various graphical formats selected by the user.  OpenGov, a California-based company specializing in financial transparency, pioneered this online application.
  
There’s nothing quite like being able to examine financial data by yourself by viewing charts and graphs or downloading the information into an Excel spreadsheet.  
In order to provide a clearer picture, we have separated the Civil City from the Park and Recreation Department,   Redevelopment Funds and the Valparaiso City Utilities.    
As time goes by, we will continue to add information to this portal and provide yearly comparisons.
 
“We strive to be open and transparent about how we spend our resources.  The more informed our residents are about what we do, the better off we are.”  Sharon Swihart, Clerk-Treasurer
