Committee approves SmartGov contract and multiple purchase requests; several items deferred for more information

Aug 13, 2026

Council approved a five‑year SmartGov permitting contract with a 4% annual increase and cleared a slate of purchase requests (elevator, IT, air handlers, software and cameras); some bids (sewer relining, Taylor Run paving) were deferred for additional vetting.

The full story

Vendor Nick Fink presented the recommended five-year SmartGov contract, describing components (enterprise software, payment connector, Active Directory connector, API) and saying a switch to another system would likely cost $50,000–$100,000; the committee approved the contract motion 3-0. Members praised staff for negotiating a 4% annual increase rather than the vendor’s prior 10% proposal.
