The minutes are never just the minutes

When they take all week, everything else backs up. Public records requests sit unanswered. Routine Clerk work gets pushed to nights and weekends. And when you've got multiple boards and commissions in the same week, the backlog turns into panic.

Minnesota municipalities have been solving this problem the same way for decades — outsource it, absorb it, or bring it home. None of those options actually fix the timeline or the cost.

Plus, one wrong motion attribution or one missing vote count, and it's a public record problem. So you triple-check everything, which takes even more time.

Manual minutes eat your time, focus, and margin.

You focus on minutes, not transcripts.

Other tools dump a transcript and make you turn it into minutes. ClerkMinutes generates formatted minutes from the start. You're reviewing a finished document, not building one from scratch.

Motions and votes are tracked automatically.

Who made the motion. Who seconded. How the vote went. ClerkMinutes catches all of it so you're not hunting through audio or praying you didn't miss something.

It speaks Clerk lingo fluently.

Minutes need to sound professional and clear, not like a word-for-word transcript. ClerkMinutes formats everything in proper administrative language using AI Actions built into the tool. You're not rewriting sentences to make them sound official.

Same-day turnaround — not same-week, not next-week.

Manual work takes all day or longer. Contractors can run $500 a set and still take days to turn it around. ClerkMinutes gets you from upload to download in the time it takes to finish your morning coffee. Often faster. That's the difference between a month-long backlog and minutes that are actually current.

You're not assigning speakers for hours.

Competitors make you label every speaker segment before you get usable output. ClerkMinutes handles speaker identification so you can focus on reviewing the actual minutes, not doing data entry.
