One publish step instead of three
A clerk's office often posts a PDF to the website, adds a calendar entry and drafts a reminder by hand: three updates for one meeting. In Bloomz, publishing the agenda does all three, and a live-stream link rides along when the city has one.
Residents notified, translated, without a second step
The notification system that sends an alert also sends a meeting notice, in the resident's own language, to the app residents already check. Residents can leave public comments before the cutoff, which defaults to 24 hours before the meeting.

A body that meets every month should not be retyped every month
Set the schedule once, such as the second Tuesday monthly through June, and drafts appear ahead of time for your clerk to fill in. Duplicate last month's meeting and change the two items that differ. The calendar entry follows the meeting through its life: reschedule it and the public calendar moves, cancel it and the entry goes with it.
Every agenda item, linked to its moment in the recording
When the clerk presses Start Meeting, each item, motion and consent item is timestamped as the meeting moves through it. Add the meeting's Recording URL, such as its YouTube stream, and every item gets a Watch from here link that opens the video where it was discussed, on the public meeting page, in the member view and in the compiled minutes. If the stream started before Start Meeting, the clerk enters the video time when the meeting started so the links line up. A one-tap Bookmark marks any other moment, and a label can be added afterwards. Bookmarks and motions show on a timeline once the meeting is completed, and closed-session items never do.
Order the items and attach documents to each one.
Standard documents and new submissions, handled at the clerk's desk
Keep standard templates for documents such as resolutions and ordinances. When staff add or submit an agenda item, they pick the document type and start from the template, with the meeting details filled in. The clerk gets an alert when a department submits an item, and it opens the review queue on the submitted items.
Common questions
No. There is no automatic transcription or live captioning. If you have a transcript, the AI minutes assistant can draft minutes from it, and staff review before anything publishes.
Yes, when the meeting has a recording link. Items, motions and bookmarks are timestamped while the meeting runs live, and each one gets a Watch from here link. Bloomz does not host the video; the link opens your own recording, such as your YouTube stream.
