Case Study: Estacada, Oregon improves access and transparency with CivicPlus Online Code Hosting

Estacada, Oregon improves code access for 3,642 residents with CivicPlus

The city of Estacada, Oregon, faced the challenge of providing easy access to its municipal code of ordinances for both residents and staff. Before seeking a solution, the code was not available online, forcing residents to visit City Hall and creating an inefficient, outdated process for staff. To address this, Estacada expanded its partnership with vendor CivicPlus, adding its Online Code Hosting service.

CivicPlus implemented its Online Code Hosting solution, integrating it with the city's existing CivicPlus-built website. This allowed staff to draft legislation directly from the code and publish new code instantaneously, simplifying remote work. For residents, it provided anytime, any-device access to the ordinances, improving transparency and ease of use. The result for Estacada was a more modern, efficient process and greater public access and compliance.
