The public record of local government, readable.

Every meeting, agenda item, board, and appointment — assembled from official sources and linked back to them.

City portals technically publish the record. Practically, they bury it. Municipal Record rebuilds each city's legislative memory as a fast, searchable, readable site: what the council did, what every board decided, who was appointed and when their terms end — with every document linking to the city's own servers.

Cities

• The Cambridge Record City Council 2018→present · 8,700+ agenda items · 31 boards · appointments, terms & attendance
• The Somerville Record City Council & committees 2010→present · 32,000+ matters · full meeting archive

Principles

• Primary sources only. Nothing summarized away — every page is built from, and links to, the official record.
• Entities, not people. Meetings, items, and boards get pages; residents don't. Names in the record render as text.
• Unofficial, and says so. Each city's own portal remains the authoritative source; we make it usable.
• Free to read. The public record shouldn't have a paywall.

If your city publishes its record through Legistar, IQM2, PrimeGov, or a site we can read, it can look like this too.
