CivicPorch: a summary for your council or board
Everything a governing body or finance office usually asks before approving a small software purchase. Print this page or forward the link.
What it is
CivicPorch is web software for the clerk's office of a small public body. It covers the meeting record from start to finish:
- Agendas, typed or uploaded as a PDF, posted to a public page with a time-stamped certificate of posting and state posting-deadline reminders.
- Minutes drafted from the meeting recording: attendance, motions, movers, seconders and votes. Anything unclear is flagged; the clerk reviews and the board approves before anything is published.
- A public meeting page for residents with agendas, approved minutes, video links, a searchable transcript and caption files, plus an embed for the existing town website.
Cost
- $10 per board per month, or $100 per board per year paid by invoice (check or ACH, net 30).
- Unlimited users and meetings. Each board includes 10 hours of recordings per month, shared across boards; more hours are $5 per 10 hours per month if needed.
- No setup fee, no contract, no annual price increase. Cancel any time.
- Free forever for one board, including two meetings drafted from recordings, so staff can try it first.
Records, security and privacy
- The clerk stays in control: AI drafts are never published without the clerk's review and the board's approval.
- Every posting keeps a SHA-256 fingerprint and time stamp, so the town can show what was posted and when.
- Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Recordings, transcripts and minutes are never used to train AI models.
- Agendas, approved minutes and transcripts stay on the town's public page; transcripts and caption files download as files, and we provide a full export on request. Security details · Privacy policy · Terms.
Accessibility
Public pages are built to WCAG 2.1 AA: accessible HTML (not scanned PDFs) for agendas and minutes, keyboard navigation, and caption files for recorded meetings, supporting the ADA Title II web accessibility rule.
