Council approves new cloud-based billing software for streamlined stormwater and sanitation bills

The Stormwater Board Meeting held on April 9, 2025, by the City Council of Greenwood, Indiana, focused on several key agenda items, including updates on billing software and the acceptance of new development sections.

The meeting commenced with a brief welcome, followed by an invitation for audience participation, which yielded no comments. Council members and city officials reported no additional matters to discuss at the outset.

A significant topic addressed was the ongoing review of a contract for new billing software. The current system has faced network issues, prompting the transition to a cloud-based solution. This new software will allow for stormwater billing to be combined with sanitation charges, changing the billing frequency from quarterly to monthly at a rate of $5. The implementation process is expected to take approximately nine months, but officials expressed optimism about the improvements it would bring to billing efficiency.

Following the software discussion, the board moved on to development matters. The first item was the Greenwood Trace Section 1, for which exceptions were recommended. A motion was made and seconded, with unanimous approval from the council members present.

The second development item discussed was Sage Bridal Section 10, which was also found acceptable. A motion to accept this section and authorize the mayor's signature was made, seconded, and similarly approved by the council.

In conclusion, the meeting progressed smoothly with key decisions made regarding billing improvements and the acceptance of new development sections. The council looks forward to the implementation of the new billing software and the continued development of Greenwood.
