Online Code Hosting & Premium Features
The City of Brisbane needed both a modern website and a meeting management solution to automate their process. They also wanted to expand transparency for their residents by integrating their Code of Ordinances and Meeting Minutes on their website.
Brisbane has utilized our codification services for over a decade. As this partnership developed, they soon added online code hosting. While this did benefit residents, the code was not integrated into the website's search engine. Staff were also seeking out a new meeting and agenda software to make their meeting process easier and archive all meeting minutes and other related documents online. To achieve these solutions on their website, they sought out an integrated solution.
Ultimately, staff added two more solutions from the Circle of Governance and Codification Services: Website Design & Hosting and Meeting & Agenda Management. Brisbane's new website is visually stunning, easy to navigate, and simple enough to manage for non-technical staff. While the site itself boasts many new and exciting features for the city, the real power comes from its integration with the city's online code, meeting minutes, and agendas. When new code is approved or when agendas and minutes are created, staff can instantly publish them to the website for residents to view. The creation of agendas saves staff time as they can be created quickly, even up to minutes before a meeting. Also available is a detailed legislative history and archived minutes, giving staff and residents alike a look into how their local government has adapted over time.
