Council approves $100,000 consulting contract to support Tyler HRM rollout
Summary
Council authorized a $100,000 agreement with Kowa Hills Consulting LLC to support the city’s Tyler ERP human-resources module implementation, described by staff as phase two of a three-phase rollout and a carryforward of FY25 funding into FY26.
The Gadsden City Council adopted a $100,000 agreement with Kowa Hills Consulting LLC to support implementation of the Tyler enterprise software human-resources management (HRM) module.
Brandon (staff member) told the council the consultant would function like a project manager and bring staff hours and expertise to assist city employees with the HRM implementation. Brandon said this contract is essentially “phase 2 of 3 phases,” and that remaining work will include the HRM module and a later revenue-collections module; police and court systems already run on separate Tyler products.
Brandon said funding for the contract represents a carryforward of available Tyler project funds from FY25 to FY26 and that the HRM phase is expected to take about 11 months while the entire implementation took the city roughly 14 months for earlier phases. Council members praised the work of staff and the consultant approach, saying the consultant model had been effective for prior modules.
The resolution was adopted by voice vote. The transcript records no detailed roll-call vote or a construction procurement schedule; staff indicated subsequent phases will bring additional scope for finance and revenue collections.
