Osage County approves Civic Review permitting software and $12,575 mailing contract
Summary
Commissioners authorized a Civic Review permitting-software subscription (first-year cost $10,500) split between two funds, approved a $12,575.25 purchase order for RNR printing and mailing, and signed a bank-account resolution naming the treasurer an administrator for UNMB credit-card accounts.
Osage County commissioners on April 7 approved a software subscription and routine vendor contracts as part of the meeting’s business agenda.
The board approved a Civic Review online permitting subscription and an associated purchase order (PO #4189) for $10,500, to be split between two county funds, which staff said will allow online permit applications and payments and reduce manual paperwork. Commissioners discussed contract terms including venue and notice windows for automatic renewal and the initial first-year total of $10,500 (a $30,000 one-time setup referenced in the contract discussion was described as a separate setup fee by staff).
Separately, the commission approved Purchase Order 4084 to Comp Tech Systems Corporation for $12,575.25 for printing and mailing services tied to the clerk’s revenue-neutral notices. Commissioners discussed whether the item should be recorded as a commodity or contractual service and approved payment after confirming budget lines.
Banking and credit-card administration: The commission also passed a resolution and completed forms to designate Rebecca (Becky) Homeberg, County Treasurer, as the UNMB account administrator for county credit-card accounts. The County Clerk was asked to attest to the resolution and commissioners signed the necessary bank paperwork.

Why it matters: The software subscription and the mailing contract are operational changes with routine budgetary impact intended to improve permit processing and document delivery. The bank-resolution action establishes an administrative signature structure for county credit-card accounts that the commission debated in the context of broader payment controls.
What’s next: Staff will finalize customer implementation and schedule for Civic Review, circulate contract paperwork as needed for signatures, and the treasurer will be added as the designated account administrator at UNMB.
