What's that shiny machine outside City Hall?

There's a new outdoor kiosk at the main entrance of City Hall, a computer that lets you conduct city business electronically. You can view previous council meetings, renew your business license, see bids and proposals, buy tickets to Lewis Family Playhouse, etc. It's like a very well bookmarked computer with touch screen technology.

These are the normal online services you can get on your own computer so it's mainly for computer-less people.

Assistant City Manager John Gillison said many people don't know what that machine is.

"A lot of people try to get cash out of it but it's not an ATM," Gillison said.
