Legislative council trims Indigev CRM funding and moves to prevent automatic renewal
Summary
After questioning contract performance and term length, the committee reduced FY27 CRM funding to a round $300,000 (staff cited $288,000 minimum), and instructed the Legislative Coordinating Council to review the contract and avoid an automatic third‑year renewal.
The Committee on Legislative Budget voted to reduce the Legislative Coordinating Council’s FY27 appropriation for its customer-relationship management contract (referred to in the meeting as Indigev/Indica) and directed the LCC to prevent an automatic third‑year renewal.
Committee members raised concerns that the CRM had not delivered expected results and that licensing and user uptake were lower than projected. Tom, a staff adviser, said the FY27 appropriation did not need the original $500,000 requested and that negotiations had reduced the actual minimum requirement to about $288,000.
Members asked whether the contract term was two or three years. Staff clarified the agreement covers year 1 and year 2 and contains language that will automatically renew for a third year if no action is taken before the end of year 2. The contract includes a DA 146 non‑appropriation clause, meaning continuation depends on future appropriations.
Speaker pro tem proposed reducing the FY27 appropriation to reflect the $288,000 minimum and to instruct the LCC not to allow the contract’s automatic renewal into a third year. The motion (later rounded to $300,000 for clarity) was seconded and passed by voice vote. Staff was directed to report back to the LCC with concrete steps for stopping renewal and confirming final costs.
The committee’s action leaves the LCC responsible for executing contract termination or non‑renewal steps and for reporting back to the committee by the LCC’s scheduled fall review.
