Demorest staff recommend Tyler Technologies payroll system; cost includes $8,650 setup and $4,610 annual
Summary
City Manager recommended Tyler Technologies for electronic payroll at a total of $13,260 (one‑time $8,650 setup plus $4,610 yearly); Councilman Shawn Allen urged the city to adopt electronic payroll and staff will return with procurement steps.
City staff urged the Demorest City Council to modernize payroll processing and recommended Tyler Technologies as the admin‑preferred vendor during the March 4 work session.
City Clerk Megan Chastain presented the city’s current payroll workflow and asked the mayor and council to consider moving to an electronic payroll system. City Manager Mark Musselwhite presented three vendor proposals — Paycom, ADP and Tyler Technologies — and the administration recommended Tyler Technologies at a total cost of $13,260, composed of a one‑time fee of $8,650 and an annual fee of $4,610.
Councilman Shawn Allen spoke in favor of moving forward with an electronic system. The work session minutes indicate Council supported pursuing the recommendation but do not record a formal procurement vote; staff will proceed with next steps for contracting and implementation as required by procurement rules.
If approved in a future regular meeting, the change would move city payroll processing to an electronic platform and incur the one‑time and recurring charges reported to the council.
