what local government is doing.
01 / The working brief
A long agenda should not stand between you and a useful conversation. Start with the proposals that matter to your work.
Read the proposal, understand what is still uncertain, and follow the source for the detail.
The proposal
Plain language. A clear starting point.
The context
Questions worth taking into the room.
The record
Keep the original within reach.
The agenda item in plain language: who is asking for what, and what the body is being asked to do.
What the agenda does not establish, said plainly, so you know what to look up before you rely on it.
The page of the official agenda the item came from, with the excerpt and a link to the original document.
02 / Built for the work
When you put your name on a client update, the details matter. So does knowing where they came from.
Plain-language summaries make the record easier to discuss with a client, a colleague, or a constituent.
Sources belong beside the summary. Follow the original record to check language and form your own view.
A proposal is not a decision. An open question is not a conclusion. Those distinctions belong in the brief.
A professional tool. A public purpose.
We’re starting with the people whose work depends on understanding local government. The larger purpose is simple: make the same record easier for everyone to understand.
No insider vocabulary required.
03 / Know what is covered.
Board of Commissioners, Planning Commission and Zoning Commission. Published editions identify their meeting, reviewed items and any coverage exceptions.
The paid plan, which is not open yet, will add upcoming agenda previews and the last two meeting recaps for each body. Each brief shows its review status, coverage and original sources. Live coverage of a meeting in progress is not included.
The free Agenda Brief is one short email per meeting: the top items in plain language, with the rest of the agenda listed as not covered. It is sent once a person has reviewed it against the official record, so timing depends on review and an unreviewed Brief is never sent.
Agenda alerts are optional, separate emails: a factual notice with the official PDF when the county posts or revises an agenda. We check every hour, so an alert usually follows within about an hour of the posting.
$29 USD / month · Not open yet
The paid plan adds the meeting desk: full agenda previews and the last two recaps per body, read in your account. When it opens, it will renew monthly until cancelled.
Paid subscriptions are not open yet. You can already create an account with a sign-in link, but checkout is closed and nothing is charged. We will open it once the paid coverage has been reviewed and published. The free Agenda Brief needs no account.
