§ 02 / The AI reviewer

It doesn’t just check boxes.
It reads the agenda.

Beyond posting timers and citations, CivicCA’s AI reads each item the way the public (and a plaintiff’s attorney) would — flagging vague descriptions, missing citations, and SB 707 gaps, and offering a one-click fix.

Description too vagueGC §54954.2
Drafted“Item 7 — Contract approval.”
A resident couldn’t tell what’s being approved. The Brown Act requires a meaningful description of each item.
✦ Suggested fix
“Approve a $1.24M construction contract with Ace Builders for the Maple St. storm drain (Bid 26-09).”
Apply fix
Closed-session citationGC §54956.9
Drafted“Closed session — litigation.”
A closed session must cite the specific subsection and the case posture before the body can convene.
✦ Suggested correction
“Conference with legal counsel — anticipated litigation, §54956.9(d)(1), one case.”

SB 707 notice missingSB 707 · AB 2449
DetectedThis is a hybrid meeting with a remote member, but no teleconference notice is posted.
SB 707 / AB 2449 require the just-cause and remote-participation notice on the agenda.
✦ Recommended
Add the standard AB 2449 teleconference & just-cause notice block to the agenda.

§ 03 / Never miss a deadline

The 72-hour clock,
watched for you.

Every meeting gets a posting countdown, and CivicCA emails the clerk a daily warning before anything is due. The Brown Act’s 72-hour rule stops being something you track on a sticky note.
