Agendas, votes, minutes and the public record, run as one process

Book a demonstrationRequest a technical briefingFactsheet

Overview

What you are buying

The Legislative Management Suite takes an item from a department's first draft through review, the published agenda, the meeting and the vote, to approved minutes and the permanent archive. Notices, agendas, packets, video and minutes are published to a public portal where residents can search every meeting and see how each member voted. Each step keeps who did what and when, so the clerk can show that notice and publication rules were followed.

The problem it solves

In many councils and boards the legislative process lives in email, shared drives and word-processor templates. Departments send staff reports in different formats, the clerk assembles packets by hand, notices are posted in one place and agendas in another, and votes are typed into minutes after the meeting from notes or a recording. When a resident, a reporter or a court asks whether a meeting was properly noticed, what was in the packet, or how a member voted on a given item, the clerk has to rebuild the answer from several systems.

  • Agenda items arrive late, incomplete or in inconsistent formats
  • Packets, notices and agendas are assembled and posted by hand
  • Votes and actions are reconstructed from notes or video after the meeting
  • Proving what was posted, when, and where takes hours of searching

Who uses it

  • City, county and town clerks and their staff
  • Department staff who prepare agenda items and staff reports
  • Council, commission and board members and their aides
  • City and county attorneys who review items and advise on open-meetings rules
  • Residents and journalists who follow local decisions through the public portal

A short walkthrough

Illustrative screens with fictional sample data. They show the workflow, not any client’s data or configuration, and the layout of the product itself differs. A live demonstration uses the product with sample data.

  1. Step 1

    Items heading to the agenda

    The clerk sees every item in review for upcoming meetings, who it is waiting on and whether it will make the cut-off.

    ItemDepartmentTypeTarget meetingWaiting onStatus

    The clerk sees every item in review for upcoming meetings, who it is waiting on and whether it will make the cut-off.

  2. Step 2

    An agenda item

    Each item carries its staff report, fiscal impact, attachments and the record of every review.

    Award of street resurfacing contract · Example City (fictional)

    Department
    Public Works
    Item type

    Review route

    • Department director: approved
    • Finance: approved
    • Legal: waiting
    • Clerk: not started
    Each item carries its staff report, fiscal impact, attachments and the record of every review.

  3. Step 3

    Publishing the meeting

    Notice, agenda and packet are published in order, each time-stamped, with the deadline from your notice rules in view.

    Council regular meeting · Example City (fictional)

    1. Meeting scheduled from the annual calendarClerk
    2. Agenda built from 14 approved itemsClerk
    3. Notice and agenda published to the portal, ahead of the configured posting deadlineClerk
    4. Packet generated and publishedClerk
    5. Supplemental memo on item 9 published as revision 2Deputy clerk
    6. Physical posting at city hall confirmedDeputy clerk
    Notice, agenda and packet are published in order, each time-stamped, with the deadline from your notice rules in view.

  4. Step 4

    Recording a vote

    During the meeting the clerk records the motion, second and each member's vote against the item, with the video time stamp.

    Item 7 · Ordinance 2026-14 (fictional), second reading

    Motion
    Adopt as presented

    • Member B: Yes
    • Member C: Yes
    • Member D: No
    • Member E: Yes
    • Member F: Yes
    • Member G: Recused, stated conflict
    During the meeting the clerk records the motion, second and each member's vote against the item, with the video time stamp.

  5. Step 5

    Draft minutes

    Minutes are drafted from what was recorded in the meeting, for the clerk to edit and the body to approve.

Workflows

The principal workflows

  1. Prepare

    Departments draft agenda items and staff reports on standard templates, attach supporting documents, and route each item through the reviews your process requires before it reaches the clerk.

    • Department staff create an item from the template for its type, such as an ordinance, resolution or contract
    • Fiscal impact, recommended action and attachments are completed
    • The item routes to the department head, finance and legal for review
    • Reviewers approve, comment or return the item
    • Approved items arrive in the clerk's queue for a target meeting

  2. Publish

    The clerk builds the agenda from approved items, generates the packet, and publishes the notice, agenda and packet to the public portal and the other places your rules require.

    • Clerk places items in agenda sections and orders them
    • The packet is generated with every item's report and attachments
    • The posting deadline is shown from the meeting date, using the notice rules you configured
    • Notice, agenda and packet are published, and each posting is time-stamped
    • Amendments after publication are published as revisions, with the earlier version kept

  3. Meet

    During the meeting the clerk records attendance, motions, seconds and votes against each item, while the live stream from your video provider is shown on the portal alongside the agenda.

    • Roll call and quorum recorded at the start of the meeting
    • Motions, seconds and amendments recorded against each item
    • Votes captured by the clerk or from an integrated chamber voting system
    • Recusals and absences recorded with the member's stated reason where given
    • Video time stamps linked to each item as it is taken up

  4. Record

    Minutes are drafted from what was recorded in the meeting, approved by the body at a later meeting, and published with the video, then kept under your retention schedule.

    • Draft minutes generated from attendance, actions and votes
    • Clerk edits and adds summary text where your style requires
    • Draft placed on a later agenda for approval by the body
    • Approved minutes published to the portal with video and the final packet
    • Meeting records filed to the archive under the retention schedule

How access is controlled

  • Separation is built in: nobody approves an item they drafted, and published notices, agendas and minutes cannot be quietly changed; corrections are published as revisions with the earlier version kept.
  • Roles are configured with you during implementation. You can rename them, add custom roles, and limit them by body, department or meeting type, so a board's staff see only that board's work.
  • Members' private packet annotations stay private to each member. The Suite does not offer member-to-member messaging, so it does not become a channel for discussion outside a noticed meeting.
  • Staff sign in through your identity provider and roles can follow its groups. The public portal needs no sign-in, and residents see only what has been published.

Security and privacy

How your data is protected

Public and staff access kept apart

The public portal shows only published records; drafts, reviews and members' annotations are never visible there.

Staff single sign-on

Staff and members sign in through your identity provider, so your own password and multi-factor policies apply.

Role-based access

What each person can see and do follows their role and the bodies they belong to, and closed-session materials can be limited to named people.

Encryption and keys

Records are encrypted, with keys Moraph staff cannot use without explicit, time-bound authorization.

Complete audit trail

Every draft, approval, publication, revision and recorded vote is logged with the person and time, and cannot be edited.

US hosting

Data for US government clients is hosted only in Moraph's United States region, under the controls covered by Moraph's SOC 2 Type II report and ISO/IEC 27001 certification.

Company-wide controls, independent audits (SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001) and data residency are described in our Trust Center, where you can request the evidence pack.

Reporting

Exports, access and evidence

  • Every report can be exported to CSV, and evidence and history reports to PDF. Reports can be scheduled by email to the staff entitled to see them.
  • Filters can be saved, so the clerk, a department head or a board secretary can keep their own views.
  • Published meeting, item, action and vote data is available through the Moraph Work API for your open-data portal or reporting tools.
  • Reports respect each viewer's role: departments see their own items in review, the clerk sees every body, and the public sees only published records.
  • Evidence reports can be run as of a past date and give the same result each time. Running and exporting a report is itself recorded in the audit trail.

Deployment

Where and how it runs

Moraph cloud

Hosted and operated by Moraph in the United States region.

Dedicated environment

Single-tenant hosting where your policies require it, scoped in the proposal.

Phased by body

Start with the governing body and add boards and commissions in later phases under the same agreement.

With a managed service

Optionally run with a Moraph managed service for template and routing changes, portal administration and support on meeting days.

Security controls, independent audits and data residency are set out in our Trust Center. Engagement models and what drives a quotation are on Working with Moraph.

Implementation

What a rollout involves

The general phases are on Working with Moraph. For this product, they involve the following.

Process mapping

We document your bodies, meeting types, item types, review routes and cut-off rules with the clerk's office. We need your rules of procedure and current templates.

Notice rules

Posting requirements for each meeting type are configured from your state law and local rules, as confirmed by the clerk and your attorney.

Templates and routing

Item templates, staff report formats and review routes are set up for each department and item type.

Portal and video

The public portal is branded and connected to your website and video provider, and tested for accessibility.

Archive migration

Past agendas, minutes and video links are migrated where the source records allow, so the portal shows history as well as new meetings.

Training and first meetings

Clerks, submitters, reviewers and members are trained on their own tasks, and the first live meetings are run with Moraph staff available to help.

Limitations

What it does not do

Worth knowing before you evaluate it.

  • The Suite does not interpret your open-meetings law. Notice rules are configured from requirements your clerk and attorney confirm, and your staff remain responsible for following them.
  • Using the Suite does not by itself make a meeting compliant or protect against claims; it records what was done so you can show it.
  • Live streaming and recording use your existing video provider. The Suite embeds and links video; it does not capture or host broadcast video itself.
  • Electronic voting by members requires a supported chamber voting system or the Suite's member console; otherwise the clerk records votes.
  • Some states require notices to be posted at a physical location or in a newspaper. The Suite records those postings when staff confirm them but does not make them.
  • Closed or executive session materials can be restricted, but deciding what may be discussed in closed session is a legal decision for your attorney.
  • Migration of historical records depends on the condition and format of your existing archive. Older records may be linked rather than fully migrated.
  • Accessibility of documents uploaded by staff, such as scanned attachments, depends on how those documents are prepared.

Evaluation checklist

What to test in a demonstration or pilot

Questions worth putting to us, and to any other vendor you are considering.

  1. Take a recent agenda item and route it from a department draft through review to the clerk
  2. Build a sample agenda and packet and compare the result with your current packet
  3. Configure notice rules for a regular and a special meeting and check the deadlines shown
  4. Record a mock meeting with motions, a recusal and a split vote, then generate the draft minutes
  5. Ask a resident or communications colleague to find a past vote on the public portal
  6. Request a publication evidence report for a meeting and check it would answer a complaint

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Does the Suite know our state's open-meetings requirements?

It holds the notice rules you configure for each meeting type. During implementation we set them up from the requirements your clerk and attorney confirm, and you can change them when the law or your rules change.

Can we keep our current video provider?

Yes. The Suite embeds the live stream and recordings from your provider and links each agenda item to its point in the video.

What happens when an agenda changes after it is published?

The change is published as a revision. The earlier version stays in the record with its posting time, so you can show what was available and when.

Can boards and commissions use it too?

Yes. Each body has its own members, meeting types, templates and portal pages, and they can be added in phases.

Is the public portal accessible?

The portal is designed to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA, the standard the ADA Title II web rule adopts. An accessibility conformance report is available on request through How to Buy. Documents your staff upload need to be prepared accessibly as well.

How is it priced?

As a subscription, usually based on the number of bodies and meetings supported, with implementation and archive migration charged separately. See Working with Moraph for what drives a quotation.
