Case Study: Town of Parachute achieves faster, more transparent meeting prep with Granicus

One-Person Revolution in Digital Agenda & Meeting Preparation

The Town of Parachute, Colorado, a small community with just one clerk handling board agendas and meeting packets, was struggling with a paper-heavy, time-consuming process. Using Granicus’ Peak agenda management solution, the town wanted to reduce manual work, improve transparency, and make meeting preparation easier for staff and residents.

Granicus implemented a fully digital, customizable agenda and meeting management workflow that matched Parachute’s existing format and included training resources through Granicus University. The results were significant: agenda prep time dropped from about a week to one day, more than 2,000 sheets of paper were saved per meeting, and last-minute updates could be published instantly, freeing up staff time and improving access to the latest information.
