Summary

Jackson County commissioners approved an 18-month codification of county ordinances and selected Civics Plus (recommended by County Attorney Susan Bevers), citing better search tools and a flat annual fee to spread costs over two budget years.

County Attorney Susan Bevers presented vendor options for codifying Jackson County's ordinances, comparing American Legal Publication (which charges per-page supplements) with Civics Plus (which offers a flat annual supplement fee and additional products that could be bundled). Bevers recommended Civics Plus after viewing demos, noting the search options and additional resources the product offered.

Bevers told the commissioners the codification is an approximately 18-month project and selecting Civics Plus would allow the county to spread costs over two budget years. Commissioners voted to move forward with Civics Plus (motion by Commissioner Drew Storey, seconded by Commissioner Andrew Stauffer; carried 3–0). The minutes do not include a contract value or implementation schedule beyond the 18-month project estimate.
