County approves three‑year OpenGov asset‑management agreement for highways and stormwater

Monroe County commissioners approved a three‑year OpenGov asset‑management agreement totaling $154,493.94 to support highway, bridge and stormwater asset tracking, inspections and grant reporting.

County staff said the OpenGov system (formerly Cartograph) is used to track pavement, stormwater inlets and outfalls, signs, culverts, traffic signals and other infrastructure; it supports LTAP annual reporting and grant-related inspection schedules that require biennial updates. Staff said the county has used the platform since 1996 in earlier forms and that the software remains valuable despite the three‑year cost. The expense will be split across Motor Vehicle Highway (fund 1176), Cumulative Bridge (fund 1135) and Stormwater (fund 1197) budgets.

Commissioners approved the contract by voice vote. County staff said the system will continue to be used for legal records, public‑complaint tracking and pavement management; the county’s bridge crew and daily highway crews also use the platform.
