NEWTON CITY COUNCIL
 Docket Tracking System


DESCRIPTION

The Docket Tracking System provides the Public, Councilors, and City Staff, a tool to follow a docket item as it progresses through the legislative process. Once voted, the docket items move to "inactive" status but are still searchable. A feature that allows residents to see how Councilors vote on docket items is also part of the new system which conforms to the procedures employed by the City Council as stated in our Charter, Council rules, and City Ordinances. The software is still a "work in progress" as we work with our IT Department to develop new features. Initial features include a Councilor/City staff docket upload tool for new docket items, and a search page for all. Council Chairs will have the ability to follow all dockets referred to their committee. Please provide feedback and suggestions to assist in building this organizational tool.
