Database Applications: Council Meetings

Client: District of Campbell River - Administration
Developed: January / February 2001
Replaces: Word-template "copy-paste" system
Description: Creates agenda, minutes and follow-up for Council Meetings. The previous system required data entry / copying of the same or almost identical information repeatedly during various stages of the reporting system. The new system makes data entry a very simple and straight-forward process.
  1. Agenda stage:
    • Create the outline for a new agenda with one button click.
    • Adjust the headings and other constant text at any time.
    • Enter and classify items one by one under the outline sections.
    • Preview the agenda at any time. See exactly how it will look when it is printed.
    • Print and distribute the agenda. Apply changes as needed.

  2. Minute stage:
    • After the Council Meeting, convert the agenda to minutes with just one button click.
    • Adjust the headings and other constant text if necessary.
    • Add or change items, add resolution numbers, indicate the result.
    • Preview the minutes at any time. See exactly how it will look when it is printed.
    • Print and distribute the minutes. Apply changes as needed.

  3. Follow-up
    • View it online or print it.
    • View / print all or only certain items. Sort items.
    • Change the status from "active" to "concluded" after finishing the task or mark it as "diary" for long-term assignments.
