Council approves cloud accounting move and a staff pay amendment on first reading

Bristol Town Council · July 3, 2025

Summary

Council approved a cloud accounting service purchase (about $9,585 one‑time; annual service ~ $4,000) and passed a first‑reading salary ordinance amendment granting a $1/hour increase to a street‑department employee; both motions passed unanimously.

The council approved moving its accounting software to a cloud service and approved a personnel pay adjustment on first reading.

Clerk/ council member Kathy presented a vendor proposal for cloud accounting and said the upfront cost was "approximately 9,585" including implementation and training; annual service charges were quoted at just over $4,000 and will be split among water, sewer and general funds. The motion to approve the purchase passed unanimously.

The council also approved, on first reading, a salary ordinance amendment that implements a $1 per hour increase for a street‑department employee following the employee's successful review; the increase reflects the hiring agreement and was approved by roll call.

Next step: staff will implement the software procurement and schedule any necessary training; the pay amendment proceeds through the ordinance process as the council directed.
