The Grundy Center City Council on Feb. 3 authorized Mayor Dr. Paul Eberline to sign a contract with Civic Systems, LLC for updated municipal financial software (Resolution 2025-07).

For comparison, Sawyer provided the other bids: Tyler Technologies cloud option at $37,945 with $17,601 annual support, and Edmunds GovTech cloud option at $24,500 with $11,500 annual support.
Rasmussen moved and Mcdonald seconded the resolution authorizing the mayor to execute the Civic Systems contract; the motion carried five ayes.
