Cedar Park, Texas, needed to find a solution that would drastically speed up the creation of meetings documents and software in which staff members could take minutes and vote in. They also wanted a way to upload meetings documents to their website for the community to see. 

The city's old method for meeting document creation became too time-consuming for staff members. In some cases, staff would have to scramble to get a document finished on time before a meeting. Collecting votes also became outdated as time went on, and a digital interface to count them through would benefit staff more. The community also needed to view minutes and agendas, and uploading PDFs to the website was a long process for staff to handle. 

Cedar Park ultimately enlisted the help of Municode and their Meeting Management solution. Now, the city has a streamlined process to handle all facets of its municipal meetings. Agendas and packet creation are automated, meaning staff can quickly manage documents without any stress and add any last-minute changes up until the start time of the meeting. These documents do not have to adhere to a specific format, allowing for them to be unique to Cedar Park. Once completed, a simple click will publish the documents online for the community to view. They are also archived, giving residents access to an entire history of minutes, agendas, and packets. During the meeting, council members can collect votes, record minutes, and add new agenda items within the platform, making the meetings themselves much more efficient. 

“Municode Meetings is the best kept secret in the agenda space.” - LeAnn Quinn, City Secretary for Cedar Park, TX
