and will index and link the records to the client's Granicus Legislative Management database and InSite
Public Portal for public access. The scope of this service is limited to the Boards /Meeting Bodies that
have been configured within the Granicus Legislative Management Suite solution. Once documents are

that may prohibit the document from being fed through the scanner (i.e. Removal of documents
from file folders, Removal of staples, paperclips, tape, clips, etc.) and is described as Document
Preparation. Upon completion of scanning, documents are organized into their original order as

completed. Each image is inspected for quality, legibility, and accuracy. Steps are taken to ensure

manual indexing errors have been corrected. Only those discrepancies reported within 90 days after

GRANICUS LEGISLATIVE MANAGEMENT SUITE - MEETING BODY CONFIGURATION SERVICES
MCCI will configure Granicus Legislative Management based on the number of meeting bodies and
Meeting Types defined in the pricing section of the proposal /contract. For clarification, a "Meeting
Body" is a meeting group such as a City Council. Additional meeting bodies might include groups such as
the Planning and Zoning Committee, Finance Committee, Redevelopment Agency, etc.
For each contracted meeting body, MCCI configures a unique set of Meeting Types. For example, a
meeting body such as City Council may have multiple Meeting Types (Regular, Workshop, Emergency,
Special, etc.). As a standard, MCG's base level configuration for the primary legislative body includes
configuration of up to 3 Meeting Types. All Meeting Types under a specified Meeting Body share the
same report design. Additional Meeting Body configurations may include P &Z, a Redevelopment
Agency, or another committee /agency. While the initial implementation focus is typically the main
Legislative Body (City Council, County Commission, etc.), customers can choose to have MCCI configure
Granicus Legislative Management for other meeting bodies.
*If these configurations are intended to be part of the initial implementation, the Statement of Work
(pricing section) must reflect the additional Meeting body configurations. If this service is required post -
implementation, pricing will be dependent on the extent of configuration and training needed.
Alternatively, clients can purchase our post - implementation Advanced Training and configure and modify
Granicus Legislative Management themselves.
