Body
DISCUSSION:
The Current City of Napa agreement with Granicus, Agreement Number C2015-056, expires on June 30, 2020. The City Clerk is recommending the approval of another 5-year agreement to continue the software subscription which provides agenda and meeting management services for the City of Napa's City Council, Housing Authority Board, Planning Commission, and various other City Board, Commission, and Committee meetings.
The technology provided by Granicus allows city staff to easily manage the entire legislative process from drafting staff report files and publishing full agendas to running live meetings, recording votes, indexing meeting video and drafting minutes.
This technology also allows public meetings to be viewed online, live, and archived, through the City's website. It provides public information, government transparency, and improved services to residents. All meeting agendas, staff reports, relevant supporting documentation and minutes are all available online, allowing the public to stay well-informed on the decisions affecting their community.
The Board and Commission module simplifies the recruitment and appointment process for the 12 City Boards, Commissions and Committees that support the City Council and City Departments. This module includes a website for displaying board details and rosters, an electronic application system for residents, downloadable reporting, etc.
