"Our residents love the ease of searching, whether by keyword, title, or section. As the administrator, I like the control of editing the code when amendments are made. The mobility and searchability at a low price is a great benefit." - Michelle Kellogg, City Recorder

Smithfield City, Utah, had to come up with a way to host their Code of Ordinances, personnel manual, construction & design standards, and cemetery rules and policies online to increase transparency, easily edit/update each book, and cut down on paper. This meant finding a platform capable of handling four different books. 

Before Smithfield's books were online, residents found themselves traveling to city hall to view them. Though the city had previously hosted their code online, their other books were only available on paper. This paper-based method proved to be inefficient and left a gap in transparency. Since the city wanted a solution that could handle all four books, they began to seek elsewhere.

In an effort to ditch paper-based methods, the city enlisted the help of Municode's Policies and Procedures Software. Now, the staff has a robust solution capable of hosting all four books in one place. All personnel and residents can access the books on both a desktop and mobile device. This is especially beneficial for construction workers who need to look up standards on a job site, saving them a trip to city hall. In addition, the solution allows for staff to edit by downloading sections of policy to their desktops, eliminating the need for scanning paper documents and making their lives easier.
