The best meetings are won before the room ever sits down.

The people who prepare agendas do the quiet work that every good meeting is built on. Governly reads every draft the way your board will, so each item goes up stronger and the room arrives decision-ready.

Features

Everything you need to build the agenda the room deserves.

Governly reads every draft the way your board will, and delivers the analysis you need to make stronger before it goes up for review or reaches the room for a vote.

Governly Prep reads every draft the way your commission will — before it's published — and shows you exactly where it's strong and where it's thin. The gaps you'd hear about at the dais, surfaced while you can still fix them.

01Personal Workspace

Every agenda preparation user gets their own private and personal workspace. Nothing is shared until you're ready.

02AI Draft Analysis

For every draft item, Governly runs the same five layers of analysis your board will get: an executive summary, a fiscal overview, a stakeholder impact assessment, a policy analysis, and the questions the item is likely to draw.

03Version History

Address the gaps, re-run the analysis, and watch the item get stronger. Every pass is versioned, so there's a clear trail of what changed and when it became ready to publish.

04Lenses

Choose a perspective that tends to shape discussion in your room, and Governly draws out the questions that viewpoint raises.

G
No. Under Brown Act §54954.2, action on non-agendized items is prohibited unless a 4/5 majority finds an emergency. Your Board Policy 2320 mirrors this.No. Under FL Sunshine Law §286.0105 and your charter §3.04, action on non-agendized items is barred absent a declared emergency by supermajority.
What counts as an emergency there?
G
A need arising after agenda posting that requires immediate action. Fiscal or operational urgency qualifies — not scheduling convenience.
