Summary
City communications manager Julie Villalobos demonstrated SeeClickFix, a mobile and web app launched June 30 that lets residents report nonemergency issues (potholes, tall grass, dilapidated properties), track status, attach photos and communicate with city departments.
City communications manager Julie Villalobos presented a demonstration July 14 of SeeClickFix, a mobile app and website launched June 30 to let Muskogee residents report nonemergency issues and track city responses. Villalobos said the app allows users to take a photo, geo-tag the location, submit details and follow status updates.
Villalobos described municipal benefits including 24/7 reporting, a data dashboard for trend analysis and streamlined work-orders for city departments. She cited results from other municipalities: Tulsa, Oklahoma reduced average repair time by 40% after implementation; Waco, Texas increased citizen participation by 60%; Broken Arrow saw a 47% increase in resolved service requests within a year.
Staff said the city will continue training and onboarding staff and run a public awareness campaign. Villalobos walked council through how to download the app: search SeeClickFix in the App Store or Play Store, then search Muskogee within the app to connect to city services. No formal council action was required; the item was presented as an informational report.
Why it matters: The app gives residents a direct, trackable channel for nonemergency requests and gives the city data to prioritize maintenance and plan operations.
