County auditor seeks contract approval for Kayenta managed services, cites lower cost than hiring FTE
Summary
Kittitas County auditor asked commissioners to acknowledge a contract with Kayenta for managed IT services, citing a one‑time setup of about $3,120 plus add‑ons and an annual cost near $55,000 — presented as less costly than funding a full FTE to manage patches and upgrades.
County auditor Bryan Alley asked commissioners to acknowledge his signature on a new contract with Kayenta to provide managed services for the county’s Kayenta platform. Alley said managed services would handle patching, upgrades and version dependencies that are time‑intensive to track in‑house.
Alley told the board the one‑time setup cost is about $3,120 plus additional fees for add‑ons and that the annual managed‑services price is roughly $55,000, which he characterized as “less than we would pay for an FTE.” He said other Kayenta customers commonly use managed services and that the county’s stakeholder work group and IT staff recommended the approach.
No final action or vote on the contract appeared in the transcript excerpt; Alley presented the request as part of the consent agenda.
