city council/city manager form of government improves transparency with Comcate’s CRM/311 software and 87% goal-setting insight

The City Council/city manager form of government, a common structure for municipalities, frequently faces internal relationship challenges between its elected officials and appointed managers. These conflicts, often stemming from limited resources and misaligned priorities, can hinder a city's ability to serve its community effectively. To address this widespread issue, the vendor Comcate offers insights and tools, including their CRM/311 software, to help improve these critical working relationships.

Comcate's solution involves providing technology to establish operational visibility and transparency. By implementing Comcate’s CRM/311 software, which features built-in reporting, city managers can easily share comprehensive data and up-to-date reports with their council. This provides a 360-degree view of operations, facilitating more fact-based conversations. For example, the city of Arvada, CO used Comcate's software to give its council greater visibility into case status and response times, ultimately helping to bridge the gap between policy and operations for a more effective government.
