Financial Consultant
Mayor Hendricks and Vice Mayor Price said they did not get the budget amendment resolution.
The City Attorney said it was provided to him in an amended agenda packet.
The City Clerk explained that the City Manager said he would send that item out separately
since he forgot to include it in the agenda packet. He said copies would be available at the
meeting. Since the copies were not made, the City Clerk asked the Board to discuss the next
item to give time for her to make the copies. The Board consented.
B. Purchase of Community Development Software - Frank Desantis, Chief Building
Official
November 10, 2021, BOC Regular Meeting Page 10 of 15
Building Official Frank Desantis said since the BOC Workshop Meeting in April they had been
diligently looking for new software for the building department. They looked at several different
software systems and narrowed it down to the top three (Municity, Accela, and Cloudpermit).
Municity was preferred by staff because it is a complete package and designed for the building
department and will benefit others downstairs. It is real-time and will be easier for people to
check the status of their permits and inspections from start to finish. Communication will be
better with everybody.
Director DeSantis responded to questions and comments. The program is listed at $101,070.
However, the base cost of the system is $90,450 with an optional contingency of $10,620, which
is for additional training or transfer of data from the existing Munis software if needed. The
money will be coming out of the Building Fund. Depending on how much data is transferred
from the existing systems and the training required, the timeline is about two to three months or
less.
Financial Consultant Andrew Laflin said a budget amendment would be brought to the
Commission for the total purchase of the software. The $50,000 for the parking garage will also
be included in the budget amendment.
Director Desantis said the system is used nationwide and backed by ICC, the International Code
Council. The City will own the software. It is cloud-based and can be used from any location.
Mr. Laflin said it ~ould be a product hosted in the cloud and part of the annual subscription fee
is included in the price. They would not be storing their servers locally. Director De Santis said
the cloud storage should be unlimited, but he will check on that. He reviewed the costs included
in the proposal. Mr. Laflin said they do not own the product. It is web-based, and the annual
subscription fee will be budgeted each year.
Vice Mayor Price said when it gets implemented, they need to request a nice, simple one-page
sheet to give to homeowners showing them how to log on and look at their project. Director
DeSantis said it would be on the City's website with links making it simple.
Mayor Hendricks opened to public comment.
Andy Wells, 550 Normandy Road, questioned the contract and costs and stressed concern for
possible gotchas.
Mayor Hendricks said he is sure Director DeSantis would get clarifications before the purchase
is made.
Vice Mayor Price motioned to purchase the community development software from Municity as
requested by the Building Department. Commissioner Andrews seconded the motion.
ROLL CALL:
Vice Mayor Price "YES"
