Council questions FundView access; vendor says 'no "view only" capability' yet
Summary
Brian Cook of FundView told the Jacksboro City Council the platform currently lacks a 'view only' console for council members but the company is working on the feature with a target sequence that would begin after August; council took no action.
Brian Cook, CEO and founder of FundView, told the Jacksboro City Council on June 22 that the finance-data platform "did not have 'view only' capability" for council members at this time but the company is working toward offering that option.
Cook said FundView is completing a transition of four legacy modules to the current view with a goal of finishing that work by the end of August; after that project is complete, FundView would begin work on a "view only" console and would likely provide a demonstration video rather than in-person training. Alderman Shelley Sewell asked whether other cities give council members access; Cook replied no council members currently have access among the cities using FundView. No procurement or policy action was taken at the meeting.
City Manager Michael Smith and Sewell also used the discussion to review how the city's FundView reports break out monthly budget usage and remaining percentages. Sewell had earlier pulled the Monthly Financial Report from the consent agenda to ask why some bills are not broken out by department; Smith said separating bills by department is time-consuming and that legal fees for pending lawsuits are charged to the council contingency line.
