Legistar can generate cost savings in ways most people wouldn't imagine.
Where does Legistar save?
- Print Costs
Legistar will allow you to be as paperless as you want to be. Are you producing huge agenda packets with dozens of pages for each member for each meeting? It doesn't have to be that way! Save trees, save money.
- Publication Costs
So many municipalities are required to have an annual publication contract with local newspapers. Our clients eliminate such contracts and save themselves tons of money.
- Reduced Labor
From eliminating redundant tasks to cutting citizen requests to reducing the number of staff positions required to get the job done, Legistar makes running the legislative process both inexpensive and streamlined. A smooth running ship is an efficient one.
- Remote Access
Believe it or not, Legistar helps your municipality reduce costs by being environmentally friendly! With Legistar's online access, the number of hours that all staff and elected officials spend in the office can be reduced, along with their travel costs.
