Summary

The Administration Committee authorized a one-year renewal of the Granicus contract, at an annual cost not to exceed $52,000, for software the county uses to identify and monitor short-term rental properties and which staff said has increased revenue.

Commissioner of Finance Mitch Alger told the committee that renewing the Granicus contract for one year at an annual cost not to exceed $52,000 is recommended because the software has helped the county identify and monitor short-term rental properties and increased revenue. The committee approved the renewal on a unanimous vote.

Alger characterized the expenditure as revenue-supporting: since the county began using the software, "we have seen a significant increase in revenue," he said. The renewed contract will allow the county to continue automated detection and compliance work related to short-term rentals while staff monitor the fiscal benefits.
