"This system has resulted in approximately $160,000 annual savings to city taxpayers through reduced personnel and printing costs. Simultaneously, it has improved the quality of staff services and information provided to elected city officials, city agencies and the general public."
Ald. John R. Kalwitz, Common Council President, Milwaukee, WI "I do not even like to think about my hectic schedule prior to LEGISTAR! ... I can prepare Minutes and Agendas using drop-boxes and the mouse in as little as one hour, sometimes less. Before LEGISTAR it would take sometimes two and a half days just to complete my minutes and prepare an Agenda... I can't imagine not having it."
Patricia Paris Simmons, City Clerk, High Point, NC "I have been looking for a legislative tracking program that will make sure reports and documents don't fall through the cracks, that referrals don't get dropped inadvertently. This is the most complete, encompassing system. It's the only one I've seen anywhere that can handle the different levels of government we have."
Barbara Tarbox, Town Clerk, Groton, CT "The City of Milwaukee has been using Legistar since 1987, so our savings over the last 15 years have been substantial. "

Patricia Paris Simmons, City Clerk, High Point, NC "Legistar has made looking up information and tracking legislation a breeze. The information is not only easily accessed but also extremely accurate and informative."
John Macio, Chief Clerk, Allegheny County, PA "Legistar has continued to save time as we have become more adept at using it. The addition of the Web modules has also increased our time savings, as people are now able to find the information for themselves."

The longer we are on Legistar the more we are seeing the time savings in doing research."

| Wisconsin Law Journal: City of Milwaukee’s New Legislative Research Center - Tuesday, September 16, 2008 The other day I was researching a change to the Milwaukee Code. I immediately noticed an upgrade to Legistar. If you are not familiar with Legistar, it is a system to help manage the flow of documents through the municipal legislative process. Obviously, a great help to the Clerk’s office. However, there is also a significant benefit to the legal community. This system contains detailed information, including documentation, pertaining to resolutions, ordinances, reports and other items. |
