At its Aug. 20, 2025 budget-appeals workshop, the Blackford County Council approved purchasing new assessor software from XSoft for $238,362.
According to the meeting record, Assessor Sheila Hyer and Ed Koerner of XSoft discussed the software change. "A motion was made by Tobey to purchase XSoft software for the Assessor's office at $238,362 for program and maintenance for a three-year payment plan to be paid out of EDIT or ARPA funds," the minutes state. The motion, moved by Fred Tobey and seconded by Kyle Lechien, passed on a 6–0 vote.
Council did not specify a final payment schedule in the minutes; the record indicates the purchase and maintenance would be spread over three years and funded from EDIT or ARPA. The minutes list the vendor representative as Ed Koerner and record that Assessor Sheila Hyer presented the need for the software. The council did not record any dissent or amendment to the motion.
Next steps will depend on final contract terms, procurement compliance, and the county's decision on whether to use EDIT or ARPA funds, which the minutes identify as possible funding sources.
