Magistrates reject BrightWork 365 subscription in split vote
Summary
After removing it from the consent agenda for separate consideration, the Fiscal Court voted down Resolution 2026-147 to approve a full BrightWork 365 Project & Portfolio Management software subscription; the vote failed 5-4.
Resolution 2026-147, authorizing a full subscription to BrightWork 365 Project & Portfolio Management software, was removed from the consent agenda for separate consideration at the request of Squire Kenny Saltsman so he could vote against it.
Magistrates debated whether the software would replace existing systems; Squire Aaron Pennington asked whether BrightWork would replace iWorks, and County Judge/Executive Keith Taul clarified that it would not, saying the "two programs serve completely different purposes." Judge Taul also reminded the court the item was budgeted and that magistrates who want access will be added as users.
The court recorded the following vote on Resolution 2026-147: Squire Fred Clem Jr.: no; Squire Larry Hicks: yes; Squire Kenny Muse: yes; Squire Aaron Pennington: no; Squire Kenny Saltsman: no; Squire EG Thompson: no; Squire Patsy Whitehead: yes; Squire Chris Yates: no; County Judge/Executive Keith Taul: yes. The motion failed.
