Commission reviews Tyler Technologies bill and cloud/CAD transition costs
Summary
County staff presented the annual Tyler Technologies bill for the CAD/dispatch and related suites; the county budgeted $100,000 and the Tyler platform/third‑party annual cost was described as nearly $80,000, with 911 and sheriff department modules split among departments. The county said the move to GovCloud was prompted by a local cyber incident.
County staff presented the annual invoice from Tyler Technologies covering the CAD dispatch platform, records and corrections modules and a fire‑reporting suite. Officials said the county had budgeted $100,000 in the miscellaneous line to cover Tyler expenses for the year and described the platform and third‑party annual at nearly $80,000.
Staff explained cost allocation: 911 would pay approximately $33,000 for the CAD dispatch portion, the sheriff's department would cover parts of the records/corrections/field reporting suites (about $18,000) and Baker Township Fire Department’s additional networking was listed at roughly $2,000; the county’s contribution would bring the budgeted $100,000 into play. Officials stressed the county’s migration to an AWS GovCloud environment followed a recent cyber incident that left local systems down and that cloud hosting reduces the need for in‑house server management.
Commissioners asked whether other local fire districts use Tyler; staff said Baker Township purchased the platform and other departments either use different systems or submit state forms. The commission voted to pay the invoice as presented.
