Open Source for Open Government

MuniMinus

In Development

An Open-Source Replacement for CivicPlus

MuniMinus is a free, open-source platform designed to replace expensive proprietary municipal website systems like CivicPlus. Cities and towns across America pay tens of thousands of dollars annually for CivicPlus licenses β€” money that could be better spent on streets, parks, and public safety.

MuniMinus provides everything a city needs: meeting agendas and minutes, public notices, department pages, forms, document repositories, event calendars, and emergency alerts β€” all built on modern, accessible web standards. It's designed to be deployed by any city IT department or contracted developer, with no recurring licensing fees.

Why It Matters

Cities across Oklahoma β€” and the country β€” spend $15,000 to $50,000+ per year on CivicPlus and similar platforms. That's taxpayer money going to a private company for what should be a public utility. MuniMinus is built to give that money back to communities by providing a free, modern, and fully functional alternative.

Features

Meeting agenda and minutes management with public search
Public notice and legal notice publishing system
Department and staff directory pages
Document repository with version control
Event calendar with public subscription (iCal)
Emergency alert and notification system
ADA/WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility compliance built-in

Revenue Forecasting & Analysis for Oklahoma Municipalities

MuniRevenue is an open-source revenue forecasting and analysis tool built specifically for cities and counties in Oklahoma. It monitors and analyzes revenue from Lodging Tax, Sales Tax, and Use Tax β€” the three primary revenue streams that fund municipal operations.

Municipal finance officers and elected officials need clear, timely visibility into revenue trends to make informed budget decisions. MuniRevenue pulls data from the Oklahoma Tax Commission, normalizes it, and presents it in dashboards that make trends, anomalies, and forecasts immediately visible.

Why It Matters

Most Oklahoma cities rely on spreadsheets and delayed reports from the Oklahoma Tax Commission to understand their revenue. MuniRevenue automates this process, giving finance officers and council members real-time insight into the money that funds police, fire, streets, and parks.

Features

Sales tax revenue tracking and trend analysis
Use tax monitoring and forecasting
Lodging (hotel/motel) tax analysis
Oklahoma Tax Commission data integration
Year-over-year and month-over-month comparisons
Revenue forecasting using historical trends
Exportable reports for city council presentations
Multi-city comparison and benchmarking
Anomaly detection for unusual revenue fluctuations

MayorGPT

Published

AI Agents, Prompts & Skills for Mayors and City Officials

MayorGPT is a published, open-source toolkit of AI agents, prompts, and skills built specifically for mayors, city council members, city managers, clerks, attorneys, department directors, and municipal consultants.

The repo contains 34 role-based agents mirroring real city hall positions, 73 reusable prompts covering the full lifecycle of municipal work, and 82 Claude-compatible skill bundles. A context-pack system lets any city layer in their specific charter, code, and local norms as a configuration overlay β€” making it immediately useful without modification.

Built from real day-to-day work as Mayor of Yukon, Oklahoma. Not from the outside looking in.

Why It Matters

Most city council members are volunteers or minimally compensated citizens serving their communities. They're up against professional lobbyists, developers with legal teams, and bureaucracies with decades of institutional knowledge. MayorGPT gives every elected official an AI-powered research assistant, policy analyst, and communications aide β€” for free. It's built on the principle that municipal process integrity and public trust should be baked into every output.

Features

34 role-based agents β€” departments, elected officials, executive office, outside advisors
73 reusable prompts across daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual cycles
82 Claude-compatible SKILL.md instruction bundles
11 curated stacks for common workflows: budget season, land-use hearings, emergencies, and more
Context-pack system for city-specific charter, code, and local norms
Agenda drafting, ordinance and resolution assistance, meeting prep
Budget analysis, capital planning, and grant pursuit support
Constituent correspondence and public engagement templates
Emergency communications, procurement, and HR guidance
Model-portable β€” works with Claude, GPT, Gemini, and any major LLM
