Founded in Michigan. Modeled around your statutes.
Dekree was started in Kalamazoo. Michigan is our first market, and the product reflects it — FOIA (MCL 15.231 et seq.) and the Open Meetings Act (MCL 15.261 et seq.) modeled at the statute level, not bolted on top of a generic schema. The deadline math, the exemption library, the response templates — built around what the AG enforces here.
1,240 townships, 276 cities, 253 villages — every one bound by FOIA + OMA.
School districts, ISDs, community colleges, charter schools.
Road commissions, drain commissioners, libraries, DDAs.

You are not alone. That is our most common starting point.
Most of our customers run their compliance work from inboxes, spreadsheets, and paper binders. We expect that. The migration is the part we own — you do not lose a week setting things up.
See the migration planYour existing FOIA log, meeting calendar, contact list, and minutes archive — Dekree pulls them in during onboarding.
A live working session on your real data. Your first FOIA, your first OMA notice, your first auto-drafted minutes — set up and explained.
By the end of week one you are publishing notices, drafting FOIA responses, and approving minutes on your own.
Compliance simplified. Confidence amplified.
Pick the path that fits how you work. Some clerks like to be shown around. Others want to dive in. Both lead to the same place: every FOIA tracked, every OMA notice posted, nothing falling through the cracks.
