Cambria board approves OpenGov asset-management software in 3-1 vote

The Cambria Community Services District Board of Directors voted Feb. 12 to authorize General Manager Matthew McElhenie to enter into an agreement with OpenGov for an asset management computer-based maintenance management system.

General Manager Matthew McElhenie introduced the proposal and representatives Andrew Wooters and Brandon Cook presented a PowerPoint overview of the software’s features and implementation approach. The Board discussed the procurement and the expected next steps for contracting and deployment.

Director Michael Thomas moved that the Board authorize the General Manager to enter into the agreement with OpenGov; Director Tom Gray seconded. The motion passed with three ayes (Directors Gray, Debra Scott and Michael Thomas), one nay (President Harry Farmer) and one director absent at the time of the vote (Karen Dean). The minutes record public comment from several residents but do not attribute specific objections or endorsements to the decision in the meeting excerpt.

The minutes do not list a contract amount, timeline for implementation, or detailed procurement terms; those details were not specified in the excerpt provided. The Board authorized the General Manager to proceed with the agreement, after which staff will return with any required implementation steps or contract documents as appropriate.

Next step: staff to execute the authorized agreement and proceed with implementation and follow-up reporting to the Board as required.
