Council tables purchase of FundView trash-billing module pending contract details
Summary
Councilors debated buying a FundView trash-billing module (discussed initial cost plus recurring fees ~ $8,500/yr) and voted to table the purchase until contract negotiations clarify whether the city or vendor will perform billing.
Councilors spent significant time debating a proposed purchase of a FundView trash-billing module tied to the city's new trash contract. Staff described FundView as the city's integrated accounting and court system module; council members pressed for clarity on upfront costs and an $8,500-per-year recurring fee and asked how residents would benefit.
"What are we doing that's gonna help the city out?" one council member asked, emphasizing the need to explain benefits to residents before approving recurring costs. After discussion the council voted to table the purchase and asked staff to return with contract-negotiation outcomes and clearer cost/benefit information.
