Beyond ARPA 101

Helping Communities Boost Civic Engagement Using Recovery Funds

With the release of the second tranche of ARPA Local Fiscal Recovery Funds around the corner, local leaders have an opportunity to move from emergency spending to investing in their long-term recovery. That could include new technologies to help keep your community engaged and encourage input from diverse points of view.

The eScribe team was amazing. They were very supportive. They walked us through every step making sure that they were there to support us. Using eScribe has saved us so much time on our agenda prep. It used to take us almost two days to do a full agenda now we’re down to approximately an hour.

Being able to manage workflows for reports and ensuring the integrity of our approval processes have been paramount. eScribe has saved us so much time that we’ve been able to focus on other aspects of the clerk’s office and take on other projects.

It’s almost impossible to quantity the hours we spent preparing for meetings before eScribe. Compiling reports took months and building a meeting agenda was a two-day process for each committee. Now everything we need up-to-date and securely available on any device, anywhere.

Our meeting processes have been drastically transformed for the better, and we’ve been very impressed with the service eScribe has provided. We’re looking forward to using more and more of the eScribe features.

It can be hard to accept change. Our legislative Assistant has been here for 30 years but has totally embraced eScribe. To go through that big of a change and be totally on board is a testament to the solution. We don’t know what we would do without eScribe.

Residents have commented on social media how nice it is to view our videos anywhere from a tablet or smartphone. Being able to watch council meetings from home is remarkable. They also like being able to scroll through the agenda on the website and click an item to go directly to that part of the video.

As an executive assistant, eScribe has drastically reduced my workload-from reports to taking minutes and assigning tasks, the whole process has become more cost-effective and time-efficient.
