There is no schema.json provided, leaving a massive gap in digital identity and verified authority. No elected officials, department heads, or council members are named, nor is there any LocalBusiness or GovernmentOrganization structured data to verify the entity. The technical implementation represents a complete failure of digital authority, as a government site claiming fiscal responsibility should not be inaccessible to its stakeholders.

The site makes no marketing claims, but it fails the implicit performance claim of being a functional public utility. The ‘insufficient’ data flag confirms that the site demonstrates none of its expected functions like ‘Pay Online’ or ‘Planning and Development.’ The marketing tone is replaced by a technical wall, creating a total disconnect between the entity’s purpose and its digital reality.

Identity & Authority is read from the structured data first: whether the site declares who it is in machine-readable schema, with verifiable identity links. Below is the schema captured per page, then the external proof links that support (or fail to support) that identity.
