Summary

Finance and Personnel recommended moving a 'then and now' payment of $57,788 to CourtView Justice Solutions and three appropriations ($3,800 for CPR trainers; $50,000 to replace streetlight electricity funding; $55,000 for IT/internal services) to next week's ordinances; auditors said the court likely missed creating a PO for the annual fee.

The Finance and Personnel Committee reviewed several routine but time-sensitive items and indicated support to advance them to next week's ordinances.

Chair Jessica Thomas presented a then-and-now certificate to pay $57,788 to CourtView Justice Solutions for city-court software fees; Auditor Thomas said the amount is comparable to prior years and suggested the court likely forgot to create a purchase order earlier in the fiscal year. The committee also agreed to appropriations: $3,800 (grant-funded CPR mannequins for city staff), $50,000 to replenish general-fund streetlight electricity payments, and $55,000 to the internal service fund for IT purchases and consolidated Office 365 licensing. Committee members voiced no objections and asked staff to include necessary backup for next week's ordinances.
