Willows council keeps Tyler Technologies billing module, votes to continue implementation

Jul 29, 2026

After debate over staffing and transition timelines, the council voted 3–0 to continue funding the Tyler Technologies utility-billing module and to task staff with exploring in-house handling of commercial accounts; officials cited a potential $30,000 cost to terminate immediately versus an estimated $38,566 to continue this fiscal year.

The full story

The Willows City Council on July 28 voted to continue funding the Tyler Technologies utility-billing module and to pursue filling a part-time utility-biller position in future as needed. The action followed staff testimony that terminating the contract immediately would still cost the city roughly $30,000 for the required four-week notice, while continuing – including licensing and training for FY 2026–27 – would push the year's expense to about $38,566.
