Transparency

The City of River Falls is committed to open government and strives to provide transparency in all its operations. The website is one way to provide this information and this site is based on the standards from the Sunshine Review, which was a non-profit organization dedicated to transparency in state and local government. We hope to grow this site over time to reflect the most current information. If there is public information that you would like to see on this website, please Email or call 715-426-3403.

In July, 2015 the City of River Falls was recognized for its website transparency by the Wisconsin Women's Council in partnership with the Wisconsin Newspaper Association and the Wisconsin Broadcaster's Association. The City is only one of seven Wisconsin municipalities to receive the ConnectWI Gold recognition.

In October, 2015 the City of River Falls website was evaluated and awarded an A+ for transparency by Ballotpedia.org. Check out their website for more information on their transparency checklist.

"Publicity is justly commended as a remedy for social and industrial diseases. Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants; electric light the most efficient policeman."
