Dekree is the compliance operating system for Michigan local government. Built and operated from Kalamazoo. Engineered for the part-time clerk who runs the township alone, alongside a day job, after dinner.
The Michigan FOIA was passed in 1976. The Open Meetings Act came in the same era. Both have been amended dozens of times. Both apply to every public body in the state, from the Detroit City Council to a 600-resident township in the U.P.
The largest cities have lawyers. Dekree is built for the rest. A clerk in Wakeshma carries the same statutory weight as a clerk in Grand Rapids. Until now, that clerk has carried it alone, in spreadsheets and email folders, with no tooling that reflects the actual structure of the law.
We started Dekree because compliance software in this category was either built for federal agencies (and priced like it), absorbed into sprawling municipal suites that hide pricing, or limited to one slice of the workflow. Nothing served the part-time clerk running a real township workflow on a real township budget.
We built Dekree to be that tool. Michigan-only. Statute-native. Fairly priced. Honest about what it does and what it does not.
Garrett runs Warrior Web Co, a southwest Michigan agency that has been building software and digital infrastructure for local businesses and municipalities for years. The work that became Dekree started with a simple observation: every township client was solving the same compliance problems from scratch, every quarter.
Dekree is the structural answer. A platform that absorbs the repetitive legal work, leaves the judgment calls to the clerk, and improves with every township that joins.
Every tier, every dollar, on the website. No quotes, no procurement gates on the small tiers.
We do not aim to serve forty-eight states. We aim to be the best compliance OS for the 3,275 Michigan organizations that need one.
Every automated draft Dekree produces stops at a clerk's approve button. Nothing leaves their office without their click.
When you call Dekree, you reach the people who wrote the code. Not a tier-one queue, not a chatbot.
