Bolivar approves Tyler Technologies cloud services contract for city software
Summary
The Board adopted an ordinance authorizing a software-as-a-service agreement with Tyler Technologies to move the city's administrative systems to the cloud; members asked whether cloud hosting would affect insurance and server costs and were told it would lower server costs with no expected insurance impact.
The Bolivar Board adopted an ordinance authorizing a software-as-a-service agreement with Tyler Technologies for cloud-based city administrative software.
Councilor (speaker 8) presented Bill No. 2026-02 (Ordinance No. 4109) describing the purchase of cloud software services. During questions Alderman Ross asked whether moving services to the cloud would affect the city's insurance; staff replied it would help reduce on-premises server costs and they did not expect it to raise insurance exposure.
The Board conducted a second reading, the clerk called the roll, and the ordinance was adopted on a 7–0 vote.
Staff said the transition aims to reduce internal server costs by moving administrative functions to cloud-hosted services; the ordinance as presented does not include added conditions or contingencies.
