Council approves contract with RDA Systems for new municipal financial software
Summary
On a consent vote the council awarded a contract to RDA Systems to implement new financial system software following committee review and a staff overview from Laura Ross.
The Smithfield Town Council voted on the consent agenda June 3 to award a contract to RDA Systems to implement a new municipal financial system.
Finance Chairman Jeff Brooks moved to award the contract after committee discussion and a staff overview from Laura Ross; the motion was seconded and approved by roll call as the lone item on the consent agenda.
Council did not debate the contract at length in open session; the item was discussed in committee and Brooks noted the award follows that review. The consent vote recorded yes votes from Councilwoman Butler, Councilwoman Biebermeyer, Councilman Brooks, Councilman Cutler, Councilman Bowman, Vice Mayor Harris and Mayor Michael G. Smith.
Why it matters: Upgrading the town's financial software is a core administrative investment that will be used to implement the newly adopted budget and manage appropriations.
Next steps: Town staff will finalize the contract with RDA Systems and begin implementation according to the project schedule and budget.
