Desert Hot Springs authorizes purchase of Tyler Technologies financial system; staff: $235,055 implementation, $72,924 annual subscription
Summary
Council authorized the city manager to draft and execute agreements to purchase Tyler Technologies' financial software. Staff cited a $235,055 one-time implementation fee and $72,924 annual subscription; combined with five years of subscription costs the total five‑year outlay is approximately $599,675.
The Desert Hot Springs City Council authorized the city manager on May 5 to draft and execute purchase agreements for Tyler Technologies’ financial operating software.
Staff said the one‑time implementation payment is $235,055 and the annual subscription is $72,924. Officials said the city will retain OpenGov for budgeting/reporting modules and expects to go live on the Tyler system on July 1, 2027; implementation work will begin upon contract execution.
Using the staff-provided figures, the five-year total (implementation plus five years of subscriptions) is approximately $599,675 (calculated as $235,055 + 5 × $72,924). At the meeting a staff figure for the total was garbled in speech; this article reports the per‑item figures as presented and the five‑year arithmetic result to clarify the financial scale.
Council members asked whether Tyler’s contract-management module would improve the city’s current manual Excel processes; staff replied it would automate tracking and reporting for contracts and reduce error-prone manual updates. The council voted unanimously to authorize the contract execution.
