City approves switch to MyGov permitting software with implementation fees; annual operating cost to rise modestly
Summary
The commission approved a contract to replace its permitting, licensing and code enforcement software with MyGov (Tyler‑operated) and accepted one‑time implementation fees; staff said the move will streamline permitting and reduce delays for builders.
The Junction City Commission voted to approve an agreement with MyGov to provide permitting, licensing and code enforcement software, replacing the city’s current system.
Staff said the new system will modernize permitting and reduce delays that currently affect builders and city administration. “MyGov stood out from all of them. They’re up to date with the newest technology of what we do in our departments,” Community Development Director Christopher Shagunas told commissioners. He said the new platform is hosted by Tyler Technologies and will also allow the city to eliminate an older Tyler product, partially offsetting the higher list price.
Staff presented figures in the meeting record: current annual costs for the city’s software total $19,343. MyGov’s list price is $36,396 annually; after offsetting $13,567 for the legacy Tyler product the net annual increase was given in different places in the staff record and presentation. The agenda summary at the start of the meeting listed an annual increase of roughly $3,486 with one‑time implementation charges of $4,750 (data migration) and $10,435 (setup and training). In a subsequent staff explanation the net annual increase was described as $3,004.90 and the one‑time fees were described as a six‑week implementation and training period.
Commissioners questioned training and ongoing support; staff said MyGov includes an online training “school” and will provide on‑call support included in annual fees. The commission approved the purchase and authorized staff to proceed with implementation and the one‑time migration and training payments.
