AI Strategy & Assessment For Public Agencies

In about two weeks on site, we map how your departments already use AI, check where resident data and records go, and hand you a written policy and a roadmap your council or board can act on.

Staff are already using AI. The records question comes first.

01

Workflow Observation

We sit with clerks, analysts, permit techs, and front counter staff to see where reports, records requests, and resident questions pile up.

02

Tool And Vendor Inventory

Every AI tool in use, including features vendors quietly added to your permitting, agenda, and office software, checked for data terms and training use.

04

Policy And Roadmap

A written AI usage policy and approved tool list in plain language, plus a prioritized roadmap with the first wins named by department.

Assessments In Practice

Questions, Answered

Who at our agency needs to take part?

A sponsor, usually the city manager, general manager, or a department head, plus a few people from each team we observe. We also want a short conversation with your clerk, IT lead, and counsel so the policy fits how records and approvals already work.

Will the assessment disrupt public counters or field work?

No. We observe during normal hours, schedule interviews around counter shifts and inspections, and keep each session short. Field staff can talk with us before or after their routes.

Can you review AI features our software vendors already turned on?

Yes, and it is often the biggest finding. Agenda, permitting, and office software now ship with AI features. We check what each one does with your data and whether it should stay on.

Does the policy need council or board adoption?

That depends on your agency. Some adopt AI rules by resolution, others as an administrative policy. We write it so either path works and can draft a short staff report to go with it.
