Chesapeake City approves switch to GWorks utility billing software at $3,630 per year
Summary
The council authorized replacing UBMaxx with GWorks' utility billing software at a recurring cost of $3,630 annually after staff said UBMaxx had been bought and discontinued by its vendor.
Chesapeake City Town Council voted on Aug. 26, 2024, to adopt GWorks’ utility billing software after staff reported that the town’s current billing system, UBMaxx, had been purchased and would be phased out. Town staff told the council the new service comes at a recurring cost of $3,630.00 per year.
Frank Vari moved to approve the use of GWorks’ software at $3,630.00 per year; Lee Adams seconded. The motion carried on a voice vote; the minutes state only "All in favor, motion carried." No individual roll‑call votes are recorded in the minutes.
Minutes do not specify which budget line will cover the recurring expense, whether there are transition or setup fees beyond the annual charge, or the timeline for switching systems. The council did not attach conditions or request additional cost breakdowns during the meeting.
Next steps: staff will implement the change to GWorks' system and manage the transition, according to the meeting minutes.
