The local open government data holds undiscovered potential for wider application. Municipal policies and representatives' decisions have a direct impact on citizens' daily lives and the public should be aware of them. Nevertheless, the data related to city council activities may not always be easily searchable, and if available, the varying formats complicate further extraction and processing. This paper contributes to the academic discourse by proposing a unified approach to processing and storing the data from the council's decision-making. The paper outlines a generic data model designed for broad application across municipalities. A data set within this model can be automatically processed and stored in the database. The solution presents an information system with an user-friendly interface that visualize the data in the form of dashboards, enhancing accessibility for the general public. This paper contains practical example of how the data model can be applied to real votes of the council in the City of Brno, which is the second largest city in the Czech Republic.
