Turn packet week into an afternoon
City clerks rebuild a council packet every cycle — staff reports, resolutions, ordinances, public-hearing notices — each grounded in what the council already decided. Govera drafts that work from your city's own record, cites every claim to a source, and hands it to staff to approve.
- Drafts in your city's own format
- Every claim cited to a source
- Staff review and approve — always
Built for the boards you run
The Friday-before packet
Assembling the council packet is skilled work under a hard deadline, done again every cycle. Three things make it heavy.
Rebuilt from scratch each cycle
Staff reports, consent items, and notices are re-assembled every meeting, usually against a Friday-before deadline.
Council direction scatters
Motions and directives land in minutes across many meetings, then have to be found again before the next one.
Knowledge walks out the door
When a clerk or director leaves, the reasoning behind past ordinances and conditions of approval leaves too.
Draft a staff report in your city's own format
Give Govera the item and its attachments. It retrieves the relevant history from your record and drafts a cited staff report — in ICMA/GFOA structure, or mirroring the format of your city's own past reports. It streams as it writes, carries a DRAFT watermark, and every claim points to a source. You edit and approve; Govera never publishes on its own.
- An agenda item title
- The supporting attachment (PDF/DOCX)
- Your city's prior meeting record
Staff Report — cited draft
- Background & prior council action
- Staff recommendation
- Fiscal impact
- Attachments & citations
Your voice, not a generic template
Match your city's own recent staff-report formatting, or fall back to ICMA/GFOA best-practice structure.
Resolutions and ordinances too
Generate WHEREAS/SECTION-clause resolutions and contract shells with your state's governing-law language.
A citation trail on every line
Each factual claim links to the document, page, and meeting it came from — verifiable before it reaches the dais.
The rest of the cycle, covered
Ask your council history
Search past agendas, minutes, votes, and ordinances in plain language and get a cited answer — continuity that survives turnover.
Catch the duplicate or conflict
Govera flags an item that may conflict with a prior action or repeats a past engagement — suggestively, for staff to judge.
Track every council directive
It reads your minutes, surfaces the follow-ups the council asked for, and can draft the follow-up item itself.
Trustworthy enough for the public record
A hallucinated council directive is a legal liability, not a UX bug. Govera is built so it never happens.
Every claim carries a receipt
Each factual statement cites the exact document, page, meeting, and body — and Govera verifies every citation against the real source before you see it.
It tells you how sure it is
Every output is labeled High, Medium, or Low confidence, and Govera refuses to guess when the record doesn't support an answer.
Staff decide, always
Govera drafts; your staff review, edit, and approve. Editing locks once an item is approved, and Govera never publishes or acts on its own.
Your data in its own walls
Each agency lives in its own database schema — not a shared table — with role-based access and an append-only audit log. A structural SOC 2 story, not a slide.
