The city of Carpinteria has introduced new agenda management system through CivicPlus.

The new platform, that went live on Jan. 21, will make it easier for residents and the public to access meeting agendas, search for items, and review meeting materials online, organizers said.

The first meeting available through the new system will be the Planning Commission meeting Feb. 2, with all new public meeting materials posted via CivicPlus.

All subsequent public meetings will also be posted on the new platform, providing a single, easy-to-use location for all current meeting materials, the city said.

The platform will be accessible through the same link that is currently used to host all meeting agendas carpinteriaca.gov/city-hall/agendas-meetings.



During the transition period, February through April, city staff will be transferring existing meeting materials from City Council, Planning Commission, Architectural Review Board, and General Plan Update committee meetings from the former agenda platform to the new agenda management system.



The previous system will remain accessible on the city website through April 26, allowing the public to reference past agendas and documents. After April 26, the new agenda management system can be used to reference past agendas and documents.

“We’re excited to bring this new agenda management system to our residents,” said City Clerk Brian Barrett. “The new system makes it easier than ever to access agendas, minutes, and other meeting materials.

“Our goal is to provide a transparent, user-friendly platform so the community can stay informed and engaged with all public meetings.”

“This upgrade supports greater transparency, accessibility, and engagement with city government,” officials said.
