Council approves first reading then adoption steps for OpenGov accounting and budgeting software
Summary
The council approved a resolution to allow the mayor to sign a contract with OpenGov to replace aging accounting and revenue systems, citing a 20-year-old system and duplicate-check issues.
Jeffersontown council members moved forward with a resolution authorizing the mayor to sign a contract with OpenGov to install new accounting and budgeting software to replace an aging system.
Council discussion described the city's current system as about 20 years old and experiencing operational issues including duplicate checks and significant manual data entry between the revenue and accounting systems. A presenter said the revenue and accounting modules are from the same vendor and that the new system should reduce manual work and improve efficiency.
The resolution was presented as a first reading and then acted on procedurally; council followed the resolution process with motion, second and an "Aye" vote and the meeting record notes "Motion carried." The transcript records staff endorsement from a revenue department representative that the department supported the change. No contract text or vote roll call appears in the meeting transcript; next steps were not specified on the record beyond authorizing the mayor to sign.
