Change primary organization from elected bodies to geographic areas #27

Open jeremiak opened 1 year ago

jeremiak commented 1 year ago

Instead of "City Council" and "Board of Supervisors" we want to change the navigation and major structure of the site and URLs to be "city" and "county" for a few reasons:

  1. It gives us an opportunity to place other elected officers on the site such as DA and sheriff (#19)
  2. It also might be easier for folks who are less familiar with various government structures to know where to look for information

We also want to include a paragraph or two on each area's page to describe the location, how many elected officials are in the area, and link to any sort of official org charts.

I think this might be as simple as an nav menu with expanding subsections, following a form like this (probably with the board/council collapsed by default, unless it fits in and is visually easier to parse, as opposed to a confusing amount of lines to find who you need)

Sacramento County |- Board of Supervisors |- District 1 |- District 2 |- District 3 |- District 4 L District 5 |-County Assessor |-District Attorney L-Sheriff

City of Sacramento |- Mayor |- City Council |- Council Position 1 |- Council Position 2 |- Council Position 3 |- Council Position 4 |- Council Position 5 |- Council Position 6 |- Council Position 7 L Council Position 8 |- City Manager |- City Attorney |- City Auditor L City Treasurer
