The Dane County government meeting held on July 24, 2025, focused on the administration refresh of the Legistar system, particularly the enhancements to the address tab and user profiles for elected officials.

The meeting began with a detailed explanation of the new address tab, emphasizing the importance of entering email addresses for elected officials. This feature allows constituents to access contact information directly from the insight page, which displays a list of board supervisors along with their email addresses. The system encourages users to input not only email addresses but also office addresses and phone numbers, ensuring that personal information remains confidential.

Next, the discussion shifted to the functionality of uploading photos and signatures for elected officials. This feature aims to enhance profiles on the insight page, allowing for a more personalized touch. The uploaded signatures can be printed on various reports generated within the Legistar program, adding a layer of authenticity to official documents.

The meeting also covered the integration of social media platforms into the profiles of elected officials. Participants were informed that officials could include links to their social media accounts, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, using HTML code. This integration aims to improve communication and engagement with constituents.

As the meeting concluded, it was noted that there are approximately 2,000 records in the people tab, prompting a suggestion to review these entries for any outdated or inactive users.

Overall, the meeting highlighted significant updates to the Legistar system that aim to improve transparency and accessibility for Dane County residents. Further discussions and follow-up actions are expected as the implementation of these features progresses.
