The Legistar Replacement
Built for Small Cities
Multiple boards, video integration, department submission workflows, and 11 reports — everything a growing organization needs at $99/month. Not $25,000/year.
For Organizations That Outgrew Spreadsheets but Can't Afford Granicus
You manage multiple boards, commissions, or committees. Your staff fields agenda items from different departments. You need real reporting — not just meeting notes in a shared drive.
Small Cities & Towns
Cities under 50,000 population with a council, planning commission, and a few advisory committees. You need Brown Act compliance and public transparency without a dedicated IT department or a Granicus contract.
Multi-Commission Organizations
One organization, many boards. A city with a council plus planning, parks, library, and budget commissions. Professional handles up to 5 bodies with 25 users — enough for most small municipalities.
Water, Fire & Utility Districts
Special districts providing essential services with regular board meetings, public hearing requirements, and rate-setting processes. Professional gives you the reporting tools to track decisions and voting patterns across meetings.
Regional Planning Agencies
MPOs, COGs, and regional planning bodies that coordinate across jurisdictions. Manage complex agendas with multiple departments submitting items, track legislation across meetings, and generate activity reports.
Library & Park Districts
Independent districts with their own elected or appointed boards. Regular public meetings, capital projects, and budget reviews — all needing proper documentation and public access.
Healthcare Districts
Community health districts, hospital boards, and health authorities with public meeting requirements, HIPAA-adjacent sensitivity, and the need for detailed voting records and attendance tracking.
Everything in Community, Plus the Tools Staff Actually Needs
Professional isn't just "more bodies." It's the workflows and analytics that turn meeting management from a chore into a system.
Video Integration
Embed YouTube and Zoom recordings directly in meeting records. The public can watch archived meetings alongside the agenda, minutes, and vote records in one place.
Department Submissions
Department heads submit agenda items through a simple form — no login required. Items flow into a review queue where clerks approve, edit, or return them before building the agenda.
11 Reports & Analytics
Attendance tracking, voting records, vote alignment analysis, meeting duration, legislation status, consent calendar efficiency, item processing times, and member activity dashboards.
Up to 5 Bodies & 25 Users
Council, planning commission, parks board, library board, and one more — with enough seats for elected officials, senior staff, and department contributors.
Legislation Tracking
Track items across meetings — from introduction to committee review to final vote. See the full history of any ordinance, resolution, or policy in one timeline.
Everything in Community
AI features, agenda builder, dais controls, speaker registration, transcription, compliance checking, public portal, eComment — all included, just like Community.
