5. AUTHORIZATION TO ENTER INTO A THREE-YEAR AGREEMENT
WITH OPENGOV FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION AND USAGE OF THE
BUDGETING AND WORKFORCE PLANNING SUITE Staff is requesting
City Council’s authorization to enter into a three-year agreement with
OpenGov for the implementation and usage of their Budgeting and
Workforce Planning suite. This recommendation follows the successful
introduction of the City’s first digital budget book during the Fiscal Year
2023-2025 Biennial Budget cycle, which improved accessibility and
transparency of the budget data. However, the current platform still lacks
comprehensive functionality. Implementation of the new solution will
continue to modernize the budget process by adopting a platform capable
of real-time reporting, personnel cost projections, multiple budget scenario
management, and enhancing public transparency.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council authorize the
City Manager or designee to enter into a three-year agreement with
OpenGov for the implementation and use of their Budgeting and
Workforce Planning Suite for a total amount of $262,608.Fiscal Impact:
There are sufficient funds in the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Information
Technology Fund operating budget to cover the cost of year one under
this agreement. Funding for subsequent years will be requested through
the budget process for each respective fiscal year. The cost of the three-
year contract is as follows: Year One (FY 2024-25): * $109,241 Year Two
(FY 2025-26): $74,813 Year Three (FY 2026-27): $78,554 Total: $262,608
