County warned of Pub Works migration and 3.5x subscription increase

Ken Miller told commissioners that the vendor for the county’s road/asset software, identified in the transcript as Pub Works, has informed staff it is phasing out the current product and requesting migration to a new system by March 1, 2026. Miller said the vendor-proposed subscription price "has increased 3 and a half times." He asked IT to handle payment and noted the county will attempt to bundle multiple IT changes into a single request to minimize friction.
