The City of Friendswood is saying goodbye to their City Secretary of 26 years this week, Mrs. Deloris McKenzie.  MCC & MCCi have had the pleasure of working closely with Deloris for over 15 of those years. During this time, we have developed a great respect for Deloris through her hard work and dedication to the City. 

Our relationship began in the early 1990’s as she set out to have the City’s ordinances codified and continually supplemented to make certain their Code was as accurate and up to date as possible.  As MCC launched its online service for Codes in 1994, Deloris was on board giving the City of Friendswood’s constituents a reliable source to research the City’s general and permanent legislation. 

As advances in technology offered new and innovative ways of record keeping, she took a step forward and began working with MCCi, Municipal Code’s technology division.  The City of Friendswood worked with MCCi to image its official records and make them electronically searchable.   Steadily remaining at the forefront of technology, she saw that Laserfiche was implemented in the City Secretary’s office, which was used to electronically maintain their official records. In 2008, the system was expanded giving her office the added ability of true electronic records management to manage the life cycle of records and make them available to the public via the web.

We are honored to have been a part of Deloris’s successes during her time with the City of Friendswood.  Our entire staff would like to commend Deloris on her years of service to the City and wish our dear friend well as she sets forth on her new adventure in life!
