The cost of the new software is projected at $19,000, a slight increase from the current expenditure of $14,000 for the existing Edgelock system. However, the initial startup cost of $50,000 will cover training and the setup of maps and boundaries, with implementation anticipated to begin in the summer. This timing is seen as advantageous, as fewer routes will be running, allowing for focused training and adjustments.
Additionally, the meeting touched on the district's partnership with DonorPerfect, a software designed to centralize vendor and donor information for the foundation. While some board members expressed concerns about the implications of this partnership on the separation between the district and the foundation, others highlighted the potential for improved efficiency in managing donations.
The meeting concluded with a review of monthly financials, noting a significant void in payments due to a single check exceeding $1 million. Future discussions will include cash flow outlooks and investment strategies, as well as resolutions related to property tax relief and school maintenance grants. The meeting adjourned at 8:40 PM, with plans for further discussions on the software and financial strategies in upcoming sessions.
