Marcus Burnside, chief information officer, told the board the renewal will be purchased from Crow LLP and that the licensing cost increase stems from Microsoft discontinuing lower‑cost upgrade licenses, higher MSRP for full finance licenses and changes to Indigo’s user quantities and role assignments.

Burnside explained that D365 licenses are assigned per module and by role: procurement staff, approvers, finance back‑end users and Dynaway users each require different roles and license types; additional roles and users raise total cost. He confirmed that when an employee departs, single‑sign‑on accounts are disabled and IT performs a reconciliation process so that licenses can be reallocated; however, removing a license mid‑term does not reduce cost for the already‑paid term, only subsequent renewals. Burnside said Indigo will reassess end‑user requirements and roles to identify opportunities to reduce license spend before the next renewal.

Board members asked whether viable alternatives to Microsoft exist. Burnside said other ERP platforms such as PeopleSoft or SAP are available but transitioning would likely take 18–24 months and cost substantially more (he estimated transition costs could reach the mid eight figures), so renewing D365 is the most economical option at present. The board approved the licensing renewal by roll call and requested a future report on role reconciliation and potential cost‑control measures.","The board authorized a one‑year renewal of Microsoft Dynamics 365 licensing to maintain the agency’s ERP environment and directed IT to evaluate and constrain license roles to control rising costs.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":44,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":50,"_51":93,"_53":94,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":95,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":96,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6628584,"Indigo approves near‑miss crash video analysis contract to inform safety investments",251,1305000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2716052-75fa5cd197340adb42e1b778660a3b49&start=1054&end=1305","/articles/6628584/Indianapolis-City/Marion-County/Indiana/Indigo-approves-nearmiss-crash-video-analysis-contract-to-inform-safety-investments","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6628584-7f47234823681ccbd06e2bbf63f85f71/orig.mp4?Expires=1770833382&Signature=OOx5rD-H9VeMRT8wVcskdRGPHrbD8TlYuwuFFqM2sUN7JLvt7IR3FMZap4lHIqFSejhzSid3Pixpy1EJ9vhiz3BPlNM1yp1YT83QzXl3RCXpmSZU9uv3ujTOtZCMulPHqWC8WYQ1c4ABVoS~qLUF9PE-HH10Lxoe74CWHFJRqqce0G0yC~I0vdoZgvIrQuMPRqga4I-sXC2lRYZCdPZwd0mOucubxeviDku0UB7oGDNjgSW4uNd7aoa~1OPT0EZ4mRGYUrayv0BKRdTcJB~hfYXGCxcRjODRkq4LdPKpKmX1N9LNC4dNcLV4UdNYix-xPFw3wxmQrG1sf3rIRdXeew__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Indigo Board of Directors on March 20, 2025, authorized the president and CEO to execute a contract with CHA Consulting, Inc. for an amount not to exceed $300,000 to perform a near‑miss crash video analysis project funded through the USDOT Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) planning and demonstration grant.

The project will place temporary cameras at predetermined intersections and bus stops to record road‑user interactions and near misses; video processing software will analyze close‑call events and a subconsultant will conduct onboard passenger surveys at the same locations to capture rider perceptions of safety. Christian Cameron, project manager in Capital Projects, said each camera location is set for a 24‑hour data‑collection window (which may be split across days) and that cameras will be removed once data collection is complete.

Cameron told the board the contracted work will allow Indigo to use findings to inform future infrastructure investments or operational changes. The contract and project budget are federally funded: the USDOT SS4A grant covers 80% of a $298,080 total; the remaining 20% is covered locally from the FY2025 operating appropriation. The board also heard that the contract includes a DBE participation goal of 17% and that a local firm, JQOL, is included at 17% participation.

Directors asked about legal and risk coordination for camera placement and data use. Bob Fry, chief legal officer, confirmed coordination with his office, replying in the meeting, \"Read my mind. Yes.\" Staff noted video processing will measure time and intersecting trajectories between road users to identify close calls; any actual collisions that occur during recording would also be captured.

The board approved the contract by roll call; staff will proceed with temporary camera placement, onboard surveys, data processing and a final analysis to be presented to the board. The results are intended to guide decisions about capital infrastructure investments or operational changes to improve rider and road‑user safety.","The board authorized up to $300,000 for CHA Consulting to collect short‑duration video of close calls and administer onboard rider surveys under an SS4A grant; cameras will be temporary and legal, DBE and funding details were discussed.","actionData","errors"]
