Case Study: City of Stockton, CA saves time and goes paperless with Granicus Boards and Commissions

City of Stockton, CA - Customer Case Study

The City of Stockton, Calif. (pop. 298,118) struggled to manage 24 boards and commissions using multiple spreadsheets and a separate applicant database, a paper-heavy, manual process that made it difficult to track applicants who applied to more than one body. City Clerk staff needed a single, consolidated system to reduce repetitive work and improve visibility.

In March 2014 Stockton implemented Granicus’ Boards and Commissions software, moving nearly completely digital and eliminating most paper. The centralized platform automated vacancy notifications and deadlines, simplified reporting, cut new-staff training time, and increased online applications and citizen participation—allowing the city to manage all 24 boards more efficiently.
