Civiary

Civiary™ turns local government meeting agendas and minutes into briefings, so you can follow the decisions that affect your community without wading through hours of video or hundreds of pages of PDFs. 360+ GOVERNMENT BODIES Civiary currently covers 360+ city councils, county commissions, and planning, zoning and code boards across Florida, Georgia, Texas, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, Louisiana, North Carolina, Colorado, Oregon, Washington and more — from Miami-Dade County, Jacksonville, Tampa, Orlando, Broward County and Hillsborough County down to towns like Callahan and Hampton, as well as Suffolk County, NY and Alexandria, VA. Every body we cover is listed publicly, with a link to its own official meeting record wherever one is published. No account needed: https://civiary.com/sources Don't see your area?

Your city council meets every couple of weeks, and it decides the things you actually notice: what gets built on your street, which ordinances change what you can do with your own property, what the tax rate comes out at after the budget hearing, and which projects get funded next year. Almost nobody reads that record, because it is a three-hour video and a 200-page packet. That is the part Civiary does for you. WHERE THE INFORMATION COMES FROM Every briefing is built from the official record a city or county publishes itself — its posted agenda, meeting packet, minutes, and video. We do not originate government information. We summarize what the government has already published. Every briefing is tied to the specific documents it was written from. Open any meeting, and the briefing lists them under "Official records," with each one linking to the government's own page for that meeting. Nothing in a briefing comes from a source we do not name. HOW BRIEFINGS ARE MADE Briefings are generated automatically from the official record and linked to the source documents they came from. That is exactly why every briefing links its sources: the check on it never depends on trusting the software. Briefings are a starting point, not the official record. Always verify anything important against the official agenda, minutes, or video linked on the briefing.

Same app, same account, same subscription, same publisher — a new name and a new look. Civiary is an independent, veteran-founded civic information project, published by Civic Brief, LLC. It is not a government app; it is not a government website, and it is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by any government agency.
