Gunnison, Utah, needed a robust online platform that could host various books for the community to view. They also had to be able to codify in-house.

Specifically, the books staff wanted to put online were the city's Municipal Code, Construction & Design Standards, Land Use Administrative Manual, Subdivision Ordinances, and Land Use Ordinances. Traditionally, these would be uploaded as PDFs or other downloadable files. In regards to codification, the city would have to outsource for a third-party to codify for them. When dealing with multiple books and publications, this process could be time-consuming and inaccessible to the community. Drafting was also inefficient as it would require staff to either work from paper resolutions or download sections to their computers for later modification.

Recognizing the importance of hosting these publications online, Gunnison sought the help of Municode and their Self-Publishing and Policies & Procedures Software. The city now hosts the aforementioned publications all in one platform. With Self-Publishing, staff can codify on their own terms and immediately publish their code online once it has been voted on and approved. Policies & Procedures allow for resolutions to be directly drafted within the solution, and their edits are tracked and redlined, automatically generating policies and/or resolutions. This rapidly speeds up the time it takes for a policy to become approved and uploaded online, ensuring the community always sees each publication's most recent versions. Navigating between them is simple, with a table of contents and a search bar that retrieves information from all books at once.
