Bring Local Record to your town or county
Fort Mill and York County are the first edition. The platform is built to run for any jurisdiction that publishes meeting agendas, minutes, or video to the public.
If you're a town clerk, county administrator, school-board member, or civic group leader who'd like a weekly digest of your jurisdiction's proceedings, this form is for you. Local Record summarizes municipal council, planning, zoning, and school-board meetings from official sources. Each edition lives at its own URL, follows the same editorial template, and links every summary back to the original source document. There is no software to install, no platform for staff to learn, and no public-facing change required from the jurisdiction itself.
What it covers
Any deliberative body that posts its proceedings online: town councils, county councils, planning commissions, boards of zoning appeals, school boards. The platform reads from standard civic-meeting platforms (CivicPlus, CivicClerk, Granicus, Diligent, BoardDocs, IQM2) and from publicly posted meeting videos with captions.
How an edition gets started
Local Record is small and owner-operated. The shape of each first-edition arrangement is being worked out in conversation with the first few jurisdictions and civic groups expressing interest. There isn't a price list or a packaged tier I'd point you at and ask you to fit into.
What's true regardless of how an edition is funded: editorial substance does not depend on who pays. The same neutral template applies to every meeting, summaries link to the source documents, the watchlist categories are public, and any sponsor or jurisdiction is named openly with their consent. Without that, the platform isn't worth running.
If you're a municipality looking at this as a transparency investment, a civic organization that wants to fund a community edition, or a foundation interested in how AI-summarized civic-record could work, fill out the form below. The first conversation is just a conversation.
Tell me about your jurisdiction
Filling this out is not a commitment. I'll follow up by email within a few days to talk through whether Local Record makes sense for your situation.
