"I do not even like to think about my hectic schedule prior to LEGISTAR! Everything I need now is in the system, and I can prepare Minutes and Agendas using drop-boxes and the mouse in as little as one hour, sometimes less. Before LEGISTAR it would take sometimes two and a half days just to complete my minutes and prepare an Agenda...As a matter of fact, I cannot think of anything about LEGISTAR that I dislike, and I can't imagine not having it."

-Patricia Paris Simmons
City Clerk, High Point, NC

"Legistar has made looking up information and tracking legislation a breeze. The information is not only easily accessed but also extremely accurate and informative."

-John Macio
Chief Clerk, Allegheny County, PA

"The City of Milwaukee has been using Legistar since 1987, so our savings over the last 15 years have been substantial. "

-Ron Leonhardt
City Clerk, Milwaukee, WI

" I just wanted to commend the Clerk's Office on the implementation of Legistar. It is a wonderful tool and greatly assists me in my daily job responsibilities. Thanks!"

-Vanessa Koster
Department of City Devlopment, Milwaukee, WI

"Legistar has continued to save time as we have become more adept at using it. The addition of the Web modules has also increased our time savings, as people are now able to find the information for themselves. While I have not quantified the dollar savings, we are not filling a soon-to-be vacant position, because with Legistar, we have substantially cut our need for staff."

-Anne Noris
Clerk of the Council, King County, WA

"For the past several years, I have been looking for a legislative tracking program that will make sure reports and documents don't fall through the cracks, that referrals don't get dropped inadvertently. This is the most complete, encompassing system. It's the only one I've seen anywhere that can handle the different levels of government we have."

-Barbara Tarbox
Town Clerk, Groton, CT

"The biggest saving to us is in our research projects. We can put in a word and do a search and go right to something as opposed to having to guess what year something was done, and start there with paper records and work our way back. The longer we are on Legistar the more we are seeing the time savings in doing research. This is our 6th year and we are very pleased with this function. In fact, if we have an odd meeting [that] we don't have in our Legistar system, it's an effort for us now to think about how to create the agenda and do the minutes in Word. It has become second nature to us to use Legistar and it is our first choice for most meetings."

-Isobel Sherwood
Clerk of the Council, Gahanna, OH

"This system has resulted in approximately $160,000 annual savings to city taxpayers through reduced personnel and printing costs. Simultaneously, it has improved the quality of staff services and information provided to elected city officials, city agencies and the general public."

Common Council President, Milwaukee, WI
