The City of Richardson has earned its sixth and final Transparency Star from the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, one of only 12 local governments statewide to achieve full six-star status in the Comptroller’s Transparency Stars program. The program recognizes local governments that go above and beyond in providing clear, accessible and comprehensive public information.
The Comptroller’s Office added a sixth star category to the Transparency Stars program last year, “Open Government & Compliance,” joining five other categories that include:
- Traditional Finances,
- Contracts & Procurement,
- Economic Development,
- Public Pensions and
- Debt Obligations.
Since the program was launched in 2016, the City has earned all stars each year. Richardson’s commitment to transparency dates back to 2007, when the City Council began posting meeting agenda documents online.
