Founded in Michigan.
Starting with Michigan.
Dekree was started in Kalamazoo, by people who work alongside Michigan clerks every week. Our first market is the 3,000+ Michigan public bodies that share the same FOIA (MCL 15.231 et seq.) and Open Meetings Act (MCL 15.261 et seq.) you do, modeled deeply, statute by statute. The product is built to extend; Michigan is where we earn that first.
Roughly 3,275 organizations carry the same statutes you do.
General-purpose local governments
1,240 townships · 276 cities · 253 villages
Education entities
537 K-12 districts · 56 ISDs · 313 charters · communities colleges
Special districts and authorities
83 road commissions · 83 drain commissioners · libraries · DDAs
Six MCL sections run every Michigan compliance workflow today.
Dekree models each as a graph node. Templates, deadlines, and citations derive from the statute itself, not a generic schema with state codes filed off. The same depth is how we model every state we enter; Indiana is next.
FOIA findings and intent

We show up where clerks do.
We are a vendor member of the Michigan Association of Municipal Clerks, and you will find us at the conferences and county association meetings where clerks compare notes. Bring your toughest FOIA or Open Meetings question; we would rather answer it in person.
We started where we live.
Dekree is built and operated from southwest Michigan. Our first pilot was a township twenty minutes from our office. When you call, you reach the people who wrote the code. When you ask for a feature, the answer is “yes” or “here is when.” That's the standard we set in Michigan; it's the standard we'll carry forward.
