Building tools for transparency and accessibility in council action. Account managed by @evamaxfieldb
Joined October 2021
Hello world! We are the team behind CDP. We are building tools to make council actions, and interactions, more discoverable. It’s probably time for an “official” announcement so here are a couple of features we have been working on for a bit.

Most of these instances have only a few meetings processed so far but we will add in some older meetings soon!

CDP processes, archives, and indexes city council meetings. For each event we process, we generate a transcript, and when possible gather all the minutes item docs, and the votes that happened during the meeting, and make them all available on a single page.

The "History" section of the page works as a method for tracking provenance of the matter. Each point in the section is a diff meeting where the bill was discussed. Includes a link to the meeting, a popout of any votes that happened, and the attachments for that specific day.
