City administrator: Liberty Lake resident-request system in live testing; public launch likely in one to two weeks

Mark McEvoy, Liberty Lake's city administrator, briefed the council at the start of the Sept. 30 meeting on the city's new resident-request system. He said the system has moved out of test mode and into live testing with participation from members of the Community Engagement Commission.

"We've taken the system out of the test mode and put it into live production, and we've enlisted the community engagement commission members to put it through a live fire exercise," McEvoy said. He expected that if no major issues emerge during the exercise, the city will open the service to public users "probably here within the next week or two." McEvoy also said the city would step up messaging through administrative reports and social media to explain what the system does and how it differs from the current request process.

The council did not take action on this item; McEvoy said the update was informational. He invited questions and received none at the time the report concluded.
