Commissioners approve OpenGov asset-management agreement using permit fees
Summary
Pueblo County approved a statement of work with OpenGov to add an asset-management module to its existing OpenGov permitting system; staff said implementation costs will be covered by permit-fee revenue.
Pueblo County commissioners voted to approve a resolution adopting a statement of work between the county and OpenGov to add OpenGov’s asset-management module to the county’s existing permitting system.
Greg George, interim director of public works, said the county already uses OpenGov for permitting in planning, development and public works and that the asset-management add-on will let staff create databases, hot-spot maps and reporting to streamline maintenance and operations. George told the board the county intends to pay the contract costs from permit-fee revenue and that the department has two years of fee history that supports the expense.
An OpenGov representative explained the system can connect to a 311-style public portal and push data to the public, allowing the county to display how tax dollars are spent. Greg George said the first-year implementation cost is $173,000 with a subsequent annual cost of about $155,000; he said the county averages about $180,000–$190,000 per year in permit-fee collections and that the fees would cover the costs.
Commissioners asked about contract duration and exit rights; county staff said the initial term aligns with the fiscal year and will be a nine-month first term followed by annual renewals, and that there are no penalties for early termination as described on the record. The board moved, seconded and approved the resolution on the record.
