For city staff
The desk Georgetown's officers work from. A resident's request arrives once, with its reference and its history attached, and it is assigned to a person who is named on it — instead of the same complaint arriving by phone, by WhatsApp, by note and by walk-in.
One queue, not four counters
Every request that comes in through the platform, in one list, with the service, the location and the resident's own words on it.
The trail is the record
Every status change, every note, and every reply in the citizen's own thread. Nothing has to be remembered and nothing is written twice.
Assign to a person
Ownership is explicit. A request with nobody's name on it is the one that sits for three weeks.
Close it with a reason
A resolution records what was actually done, so the next person answering the phone does not have to guess.
What is open right now
3 services are taking online submissions for Georgetown today. The rest are still at the counter or being built.
A service appears to residents as available at the moment the Council moves it into service, and not before. That switch is a deliberate act inside the workspace and it is recorded.
Staff accounts
Accounts are issued by Georgetown's administrator from inside the municipal workspace — there is no public sign-up for staff, on purpose. If you are a Georgetown officer and you need access, ask your administrator; if the Council does not yet have an administrator set up, that is arranged with VertAcc when the city is onboarded.
A staff account reaches the municipal workspace only. It cannot see any other city's records, and it has no route into the Council's financial system.
