Javier Cebolla Laffero, Chief Financial Officer for the City of Oxnard, recommended that the Oxnard City Council approve and authorize the mayor to execute a sixth amendment to the city's Software-as-a-Service agreement with Tyler Technologies, increasing the contract by $308,524 to a total agreement amount not to exceed $11,808,524.

The amendment would add 37 licenses to support implementation of Tyler's myCivic software and replace the software supporting the city's 3-1-1 application with an already-integrated solution tied to the city's enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. Cebolla Laffero said the change is intended to simplify resident engagement and improve accessibility and convenience.

Why it matters: the Tyler Technologies contract is the central software agreement supporting Oxnard's new ERP. The original contract was signed in October 2019 and has been amended five times. Staff told the council the financial and human capital modules are already live. The enterprise permitting and licensing model and the asset-management model are planned to go live in early 2026, and work on utility billing is planned to kick off in early 2026.

Details of the recommendation: Cebolla Laffero said the proposed amendment "will replace the software supporting the 3 1 1 app with an already integrated solution with the ERP, simplifying the process of engaging users, improving accessibility and convenience for the city's residents." He presented the amendment as not changing the term of the existing agreement while increasing the contract value by about $308,524.

The presentation included a numerical inconsistency: two slides in the presentation showed $308,524 while one slide read $308,504. Cebolla Laffero repeated $308,524 when reading the motion language; the council record in this transcript does not include a vote on the amendment.

Next steps: the recommendation was presented to the council for consideration; no vote or final action on the amendment is recorded in the provided transcript.

Context: Tyler Technologies is the vendor for the city's ERP. The amendment described is limited to software and licensing related to the myCivic and enterprise permitting, licensing and asset-management modules, and to replacing the third-party software that supports the 3-1-1 function so it is integrated with the ERP.
