Managing Application Record Hearing Agendas

Many agencies hold public hearings to examine proposed work. The agency administrator can set up Civic Platform to incorporate hearing schedules and allocate the resources and location for a hearing. After you schedule a hearing, you can define the hearing agenda by associating application records with that hearing.

A Hearings standard report is available for you to print. This report provides the hearing date, time, location, and reason. You can filter the report by date range and then print it in a calendar format or list format.

Adding an Application Record to a Hearing Agenda

After you submit an application, the work proposed in the application, such as building plans for a subdivision, might need a hearing body such as a community council to review it. You can associate an application record with a hearing to add review of the current application to the hearing agenda.
