Released Enhancements
Early Access to the Meeting Overview on the Public Portal
Residents can now view the Meeting Overview as soon as the agenda is published to the Public Portal. With this enhancement, the agenda is visible even if the full agenda packet is not yet available.
Key Details
Displayed on Agenda Publication: The Meeting Overview populates when an agenda is published, rather than waiting for the full packet.
Excludes Sensitive Content: Attachments, Item Reports, and Motions/Votes are not displayed until the full packet is published.
Customer Settings Maintained: You continue to have full control over which view is shown by default. You can choose to default to Meeting Overview, Meeting Media, or Meeting Files, just as you always have.
Encourages Public Engagement: Earlier access to meeting information helps residents stay informed and involved in local government decisions.
