Public Portal
Give your community direct access to meetings, agendas, legislation, and public comment — all from a branded, mobile-friendly portal included with every plan.
Open government, out of the box
Six core features that turn your meeting data into a transparent, accessible public record — automatically.
Meeting Calendar
A public calendar showing all upcoming and past meetings across every body. Filter by body, date range, or meeting type. Citizens can subscribe to any calendar via iCal and get updates in their preferred calendar app.
Agenda & Document Viewing
Published agendas render in full with sections, items, attachments, and supporting documents. No downloads required — everything is viewable in-browser. Minutes appear automatically once approved.
eComment System
Citizens submit written public comments on specific agenda items before or during meetings. Staff reviews and approves comments before they're visible, giving you full control over the public record.
Legislation Search
Search and track legislation across bodies and meetings. See the full history of readings, amendments, and final disposition for every item — from introduction through adoption or failure.
People & Body Directory
Browse elected officials, board members, and committee rosters. See memberships, voting records, and meeting participation for every person — a complete, always-current public directory.
Email Notifications
Citizens subscribe to meetings, bodies, or specific agenda items and receive email alerts when agendas are published or meetings are updated — no account required, unsubscribe anytime.
Built-in, not bolted on
The portal isn't a separate product or an optional add-on. It's the public face of the same data your staff works with every day.
Publish Once, Available Everywhere
When you publish an agenda in CivicCA, it's immediately available on the public portal — formatted, organized, and with all attached documents. When minutes are approved, they appear automatically. No duplicate data entry, no copying content between systems, no sync issues.
Your Subdomain, Your Brand
Every CivicCA account gets a dedicated public portal at yourorgname.civicca.com. Government plan customers can map a fully custom domain — for example, meetings.yourcity.gov — so the portal feels like a seamless part of your official web presence.
Satisfies SB 707 Webpage Requirement
Under California's SB 707 Brown Act Modernization Act, eligible bodies must maintain a dedicated public meeting webpage. CivicCA's portal satisfies this requirement out of the box — no additional website configuration, no separate page to maintain, and no compliance risk.
Transparency your community can see
The public portal is included in every CivicCA plan. Set up in minutes. No additional cost, no separate product to buy.
