Municipal Decision Brief Service

A specialized staffing service that embeds trained decision-capture specialists into city council and municipal board meetings (2–4 hours per week per client). They attend live, take structured notes using a proprietary decision taxonomy, and deliver a formatted 1-page public brief within 24 hours—ready for email blast, website posting, and social media. No transcription, no software licensing headaches, no training required from city staff.

SERVICE

40 weeks • 70% confidence

Value Proposition

Eliminates the 3–5 day lag between meeting and public communication. Residents get consistent, plain-language summaries automatically. Cities avoid hiring full-time communications staff or buying enterprise software. The service is compliant by design—briefs follow open-meetings law templates and include required vote tallies and next steps.

Target Audience

City managers, communications directors, and council administrators in municipalities with populations 25k–250k (where in-house communications capacity is thin but budget exists).

Key Features

  • Live meeting attendance by trained specialist
  • Structured decision capture (decision, vote count, rationale, next steps, public comment summary)
  • 24-hour turnaround for formatted brief
  • And more, with full implementation detail...

Tech Stack

Google Workspace (email, Drive for brief templates and archives) Airtable or Pipedrive (lightweight CRM for contracts and scheduling) Slack (team communication and dispatch) Zoom or Teams (backup for remote attendance if needed)

Original Problem

Local government officials struggle to communicate meeting decisions and outcomes to constituents efficiently

City council members and municipal staff need to quickly summarize and distribute meeting decisions to residents, but lack streamlined tools to capture, organize, and publish meeting outcomes. Current solutions require manual transcription, fragmented documentation, and delayed public communication, leaving constituents uninformed and frustrated about local governance decisions that affect their community.
