Website upgrade lets users explore 50 years of Los Angeles records

Dive Brief: The Los Angeles Office of the City Clerk last week launched a legislative management system featuring more than 50 years of searchable records.

The LMS went live Oct. 26 and contains more than half a million documents and 172,000 City Council files.

Dive Insight: Los Angeles City Clerk Patrice Lattimore said her office was previously using as many as five siloed systems to process items for the City Council, including for streaming meetings and tracking votes.

“The speed at which this system went live is a testament to the hard work and leadership of the Office of the City Clerk.

“It provides the City Clerk, legislative staff, constituents, and the media with a more intuitive and efficient platform to access and manage legislative information,” she said.
