If you want, you can log in and follow along with this training.

Or if you prefer just to watch my screen, that's also completely fine as well.

Whatever your preference is.

Does anybody need a login for boards and commissions?

Nope.

Not for me.

Okay.

Okay.

I just I assumed

that

everybody had a login, but I did wanted to make sure.

Right.

And then so yeah, so we'll use your will use your boards and commission site for training today.

And that's just the Napa City.granicus.com.

Okay.

All right.

So team, today we're gonna be kind of going through the ins and outs of boards and commissions.

I know that you had noted on our call um a couple weeks ago that you had some kind of questions that you specific questions that you had.

So we'll definitely address those questions as we go through.

And then if you have any other questions or wonderings, you know, I want this session to be um as productive as possible and to for you to get the most benefit.

So if there is any other sort of wonderings or questions um that you want to address today, please feel free just to let me know.

And

team, I will oh, sorry, go ahead.

No, no, so that sounds

good.

Okay.

I

was gonna say too, team, I'm gonna approach this as um, so with with retrainings, um, one of the things is I kind of approach these sessions as okay, you have some foundational knowledge of the system, right?

So we're not gonna start with like the basics of like here's how you log in, you know, here's how you access boards and commissions, because you know that, right?

But if there is a specific question, like I said, that you want to address that you feel like I didn't address, just let me know.

Okay.

Um right.

So starting here on our boards and commissions home screen, um, the home screen is it's basically kind of looks like a kind of a Google analytics type of dashboard.

Um, and so what it does is basically gathers data from your boards and commissions system and it presents it here.

Um you can use the dashboard as like a reference point for seeing like how many active boards you have, how many seats are filled, how many are open, um recently submitted applications.

Those are applications that are going to be received, I believe, within the last like 60 days.

Um, or we have 16 months or older.

Um, so you can just kind of look at this dashboard and see this data here.

Um I can see that like in October, which makes sense that you have a bunch of terms expiring soon, and that makes sense with kind of the election period and things like that.

So you can see kind of when people's terms are are expiring and if you have a lot of terms expiring within a month.

And then this guy down here, um, this is something it looks like you've possibly disabled on your application form, but there is a question that we can put on the application form where people can respond to both applicants and members can respond to their home district.

So if the city of Napa has different districts, like district one, district two, district three, um, you can see um where your your um where your members and where your submitters, your application submitters, your applicants, um, what districts they live in.

So maybe you look at this graph and there's a lot of people that live in district like six, for example, or district five.

Um, so that's where that is pulling from.

It would be a question on the application form.

Like I said, it looks like it's something that you're you disabled, but we can certainly bring that into the application form if districts is something that is important for your agency.

Is it would that be something no?

Well, because we have a one-city model, like the council members don't do anything by district.

We don't do any district tracking like financially or project based.

So I didn't think it was necessary on here.

Okay.

Some cities though, like have a district, like each council member appoints their own people individually, you know, individually or whatever, but we don't we don't do

that.

It's just okay.

As long as you're within the city limits, you're free game.

You're free game.

That makes sense.

That makes sense.

Um and then over here, team, this is pulling from the application form.

Um, so what this does is it it basically gives us a breakdown of different we ask on the application form.
