Why it matters

The procedure behind a legal act, as a record

A council decision is a legal act with a procedure attached, and most of the risk sits in that procedure — an opinion missing, a conflict of interest not declared, a publication deadline passed. Running the cycle on the platform makes each of those steps a record rather than an assumption.

Opinions and conflicts declared

What must be stated before a vote is stated in the file.

Publication deadlines kept

The term that makes the act effective is tracked.

Recorded, not assumed

Each step of the cycle leaves evidence behind it.

What it covers

The procedure, step by step

Everything the act needs in order to stand up later, kept with the act itself.

Initiative and drafting

Draft decisions with their explanatory note, legal basis and financial impact.

Opinions

Committee, legal and financial opinions requested and recorded against the draft.

Agenda

Convocation, agenda and materials distributed to members electronically.

Voting

Attendance, quorum, votes and abstentions recorded per member.

Conflicts of interest

Declared, recorded and reflected in the count.

Publication

Adopted acts published within the term, in the register and on the website.

How it works

Drafted, opined, debated, published

Each stage releases the next one only when its own conditions are met.

01

Draft with its file

The initiator submits the draft together with the note, the legal basis and the budget impact, rather than as an attachment in an email.

02

Collect opinions

Committees and services give their opinion inside the file, with their deadline visible.

03

Convene and debate

Members receive the agenda and materials in one place, and attendance and quorum are established in the session.

04

Adopt, sign, publish

The vote is recorded per member, the act is signed and published, and the register is updated automatically.

Outcomes

What changes

A council year that can be reconstructed act by act, without opening a cupboard.

No draft without its opinions

The procedure will not reach the agenda incomplete.

Publication inside the term

The deadline is counted from adoption by the system.

A searchable body of decisions

Past acts are found by subject, not by date and luck.
