Health department cleared to switch from PolicyTech to Smartsheet subscription
Summary
The commission authorized the health department to transition from PolicyTech (about $2,200/year) to Smartsheet (about $1,900/year). Grant funding will cover the subscription through 2027, after which it moves to the IT budget.
A health department representative (speaker 8) asked the commission for permission to move from PolicyTech to Smartsheet, saying Smartsheet costs roughly $1,900 per year versus PolicyTech at roughly $2,200 and offers additional features like data visualization, calendars and form collection. "PolicyTech's like 2,200 a year, this one's like 1,900," she said, and added that she has public health infrastructure grant money to cover the subscription until 2027, after which it would come from IT's budget.
Commissioners expressed general support; staff confirmed a digital agreement is ready for signature. No formal vote was recorded but commissioners authorized the switch and accepted that the initial two years would be grant‑funded.
