Loading...
Summary
Council voted unanimously to authorize the city manager to execute an agreement with CivicPlus for meeting and agenda management software; year‑one implementation cost was listed as $10,200 with annual ongoing maintenance estimated at $6,300.
City Clerk Gabby Hernandez presented a staff recommendation to purchase CivicPlus agenda and meeting management software to standardize agenda and minutes production, provide a private council board portal and integrate with the existing CivicPlus website and NextRequest public‑records portal.
Hernandez described implementation (14–16 weeks), four hours of staff/board training included in the initial implementation, and a 30‑day trial period. She said CivicPlus had been selected after demos and comparison with other vendors (including Granicus), citing concerns about some competitors’ service outages during peak agenda‑building times.
The city reported a year‑one configuration and training cost of $10,200, and ongoing annual costs of $6,300 with a five‑year uplift; funds were to be allocated from the general reserve to the administration budget. Council moved, seconded and approved the resolution authorizing the city manager to execute the agreement by unanimous roll call (5–0).
