Legistar is the leading, comprehensive agenda workflow management and information retrieval system designed specifically to support the legislative process in cities, towns, and counties.  This totally integrated system was designed from the ground up to completely automate all the information management functions of the city clerk's office and of the city council in one smooth and coherent system. 

From the drafting and introduction of ordinances, resolutions, and other matters through assignment to committees, commissions, and offices and Council Meetings, Legistar parallels and supports the customary flow of legislative operations.  The system eliminates all data entry redundancy while tracking every action taken, along with dates, free-form notation, and individual votes where appropriate.

Legistar's design team was made up of city clerks and senior staff members with many years of experience in city council work, along with creative software engineers who used the most sophisticated technical tools available to build a system that is based on a solid core of universally accepted legislative procedures with a mechanism for easily adapting it to almost any set of local requirements.
