Harwood council approves switch to Black Mountain accounting and utility software
Summary
The Harwood City Council approved replacing Banyon with Black Mountain Software for accounting, payroll and utility billing. The auditor said the purchase will be funded from general funds and the council voted unanimously to proceed.
City Auditor Chayla Hansen asked the Harwood City Council on Jan. 7 to approve replacing the city’s accounting, payroll and utility‑billing software from Banyon to Black Mountain Software. Hansen summarized the benefits of the new system and said the purchase would be covered from general‑fund dollars.
Councilman Chris Fix moved to approve the software change and Jamie Nettum seconded; the council voted aye and the motion carried. The council did not specify a contract value in the meeting minutes; staff are expected to finalize procurement steps outside the meeting record and implement the new system according to city purchasing procedures.
The auditor said the change intends to consolidate accounting, payroll and utility billing in a single platform. The council’s approval was procedural and does not, in the minutes, identify ongoing costs, implementation timeline or training details.
