Granite County commission authorizes CivicPlus website setup; initial $1,700 setup, ~$5,772 annual fee discussed
Summary
The commission voted to proceed with CivicPlus to replace the county website and to begin the setup phase. Commissioners discussed the premium package, one‑time setup costs and annual maintenance; staff will refine module choices and return final figures next week.
Granite County commissioners voted to move forward with CivicPlus to replace the county website, beginning an initiation phase that will bring the county’s site onto a government‑grade platform and allow individual departments to manage their own pages.
Commissioners discussed the vendor’s two part cost: a one‑time site setup and design fee and an annual maintenance subscription. The vendor’s premium package was described during the meeting as carrying a $1,700 one‑time setup fee and an annual maintenance fee of $5,772. County Treasurer Ashley Todd raised questions about optional modules and add‑ons and noted the premium pricing line items: “So I see here where it says, you know, your your website, your standard, where your premium your premium, we're looking at almost 7,000 for the initial setup and what the base includes.”
Staff explained the premium tier includes training and archive migration; optional add‑ons (job board, business directory, payment modules) could add to the annual total depending on which departments require extra functionality. Commissioners asked staff to work with department heads — notably the treasurer’s office and the sheriff’s office — to identify required integrations for payments, mapping and inmate account transactions and to collect final pricing.
On a motion made and seconded at the meeting, the commission authorized staff to initiate the CivicPlus premium implementation and to draw the initial setup fee from county funds (the discussion referenced using county building/facility funds and the PILT account for the first year). Commissioners directed staff to return next week with a final invoice that lists any optional modules and the definitive total annual cost before the county commits recurring funds.
Ending: Staff will collect department requirements, confirm needed add‑ons for payment integrations and mapping, and present a final invoice and implementation timeline at the next meeting.
