Layton mayor says city will adopt new election reporting software after county ends service
Summary
Mayor Bruce Halle told the City of Layton Council the city will implement Easy Vote for candidate financial reporting after Monroe County discontinued its software; the package costs $2,000 per year plus a $1,000 implementation fee and will be paid from reserves.
Mayor Bruce Halle told the City of Layton City Council on March 5 that the city plans to adopt Easy Vote, a commercial candidate‑financial reporting system, after the county discontinued access to its previous software.
Halle said Supervisor Sherri Hoodies has discontinued the county service that candidates used, prompting the city to identify an alternative. He said the Easy Vote subscription would cost $2,000 per year with an additional $1,000 initial training and implementation fee and that the city would host the reporting tool on its website after staff training. Funds for the purchase, Halle said, are available from city reserves because Layton did not hold an election last year and transferred election funds to reserves.
The council did not take a formal vote on the purchase at the meeting; Halle presented the cost and implementation plan as part of the mayoral reports and said staff would proceed with training and website integration. The transcript does not specify a vendor contract date, procurement path, or which department will administer the service.
If the council moves forward, the cost line items noted in the meeting are $2,000 annually plus a one‑time $1,000 training/implementation fee; funding was identified as reserves. The council did not record a formal motion or a procurement decision during this session.
