County plans to move permitting online, selects iWORKS pending contract review
Summary
Planning and Zoning presented vendor quotes for online permitting; commissioners voted to select iWORKS pending contract review by the county attorney and council approval of funding.
Planning and Zoning staff presented two vendor proposals to digitize permitting and accept credit‑card payments and recommended iWORKS as the preferred vendor.
Sam from Planning and Zoning said iWORKS appeared more user‑friendly and offered a reduced first‑year price; transcript remarks referenced a first‑year total of about $10,000 and recurring annual costs discussed at $7,500. Sam described functionality including online permit submission, inspection scheduling, automated notifications, parcel‑level notices and read‑only logins for commissioners.
Commissioners moved to proceed with iWORKS while asking the county attorney to review the contract and council to approve use of permit fees as a funding source; the motion passed as recorded in the meeting.
What happens next: Aubrey (county attorney) will review the vendor contract and the council will consider funding approval before contracts are executed.
