Commissioners approve $176,487.55 annual renewal for county software support
Summary
The board reviewed and approved the annual renewal of Computer Arts/Harris software licenses and law-enforcement support, noting the renewal includes historical lookup licenses during a yearlong transition to a new vendor and totals $176,487.55.
Jefferson County commissioners reviewed and approved the county's annual software support contract with Computer Arts and Harris, with a total cost of $176,487.55 for licenses and law-enforcement support. Commissioners questioned the size of the increase and the timing of a planned move to a different vendor, noting that some historical-access licenses must be maintained during the transition.
"I'll make a motion that we approve the contract and, an annual renew for service with Computer Arts and Harris for a total amount of $176,487.55," Commissioner Young said during the motion to approve. Staff explained the county will continue to pay for property-tax and law-enforcement support through next July while preparations proceed to move core services to Bonneville; several commissioners pressed for a review of overall county software spending and possible alternatives.
The board moved and seconded the renewal and called for a roll call; the transcript records affirmative responses and discussion that the county has limited short-term options while it completes the transition. Commissioners asked staff to produce a consolidated list of county software costs and to revisit high-cost items as part of upcoming budget work.
