County warned of Pub Works migration and 3.5x subscription increase
Summary
Public-works staff told commissioners the vendor for county asset/road software (Pub Works) is phasing out the current product and requesting migration by March 1, 2026, and that subscription costs would increase about "3 and a half times." County IT will review options and county staff plan to bundle IT requests.
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.
Commissioners acknowledged the timing and said they will include the expected cost changes in upcoming staff meetings. One commissioner said multiple departments face the same issue and that staff will present a combined request for IT changes within the next few weeks.
No formal contract award or commitment was recorded in the transcript; the topic was an update and request to review options and budget implications.
