I will contact K.M. at Santa Monica to see if he has access to the Granicus site by 4/25

BryonPm commented 3 years ago

@eselkin Please provide an update regarding KM access to Granicus at your earliest convenience.

eselkin commented 3 years ago

Sent another message to KM in meeting tonight about Granicus.

eselkin commented 3 years ago

Got a message back from Olathe City, Kansas Digital Comm Mgr. Basically said he'd be willing to give us more information, but laid out:

Granicus lets them set up a workflow to create agenda items
It notifies people who need to approve items
It builds the agenda
It notifies the city clerk's office
Granicus builds out a website that is public facing
1. It lets the public view agendas
2. view the items
3. and view supporting documentation

He gave me his email and told me to contact him for more information.

I started another document (I know @BryonPm put some work into the confluence), but the spreadsheet I was working on is slightly different (not exactly comparative analysis, but a breakdown of options/links/connections within the NCManager.org website): spreadsheet

BryonPm commented 2 years ago

The team discussed using the following template for comparative analysis doc. Comprehensive comparison of tools will be located in the document below. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uKHkcDbZ55L_lUZKGUbjfMREJX0_wdP3ll7srLUDCug/edit#gid=1714191502

The team emailed Eric McAnally to ask about Granicus platform trial/demo.

Due to the expiration date on the video Bryon provided in the previous post I screen recorded the video. Link is in the Google Drive.

BryonPm commented 2 years ago

I have spoken to the Granicus rep but having scheduling problems due to time differences and availability. I will continue to reach out to see if we can make something happen. I'm thinking I will have to speak with him right before the holidays.
