Board of Public Works - Sep 16, 2026
Three items — a $65,100 Esri software renewal, a $129,887.65 phone system maintenance contract, and a $134,989.53 networking equipment purchase — make up roughly $330,000 in technology spending. These keep the city's mapping software, phones, and network running.
Board of Public Works - Jul 15, 2026
The city sought approval of a $5.24 million contract with Iron Brick, LLC to modernize its ERP system — the backbone software for city finances and operations. Better systems can mean faster services and cleaner accounting for residents.
Finance, Utilities and Rules Committee Meeting - Jul 6, 2026
The city wants to spend $2 million implementing a new ERP system — the software that handles accounting, payroll and purchasing. Residents may eventually see faster, more accurate city billing and financial services, but the money comes straight out of the general fund.
City Council Meeting - Jul 6, 2026
A package of items would move $2 million from the General Fund into a new ERP Implementation Fund to pay for software modernization costs. It's a big IT spend that would come out of general tax revenues.

Board of Public Works - Jun 17, 2026
The city's $5.24 million software overhaul is on hold because the Council hasn't approved the money yet — it's a 10-year deal, not a one-time cost. Expect it back at the next board meeting if the funding passes.
City Council Meeting - Jun 15, 2026
The council was scheduled to consider creating a non-reverting ERP Implementation Fund and moving $2 million from the General Fund to pay for the city's software modernization. This touches how the city manages finances and could affect service delivery behind the scenes.
Finance, Utilities and Rules Committee Meeting - Jun 9, 2026
The city plans to ditch a patchwork of outdated systems — including a purchasing tool built by an employee who retired 12 years ago — for a single Workday platform costing about $2.2 million to implement and only ~$30,000/year more to run. It should save staff hours, improve cybersecurity and give council better data.
Finance, Utilities and Rules Committee Meeting - Jun 1, 2026
The CFO proposed a dedicated fund for the city's ERP software project, but Council President Snyder worried it sets a bad precedent and reduces government efficiency, preferring to track costs within existing appropriations.
Finance, Utilities and Rules Committee Meeting - Feb 11, 2026
The Finance Department was set to review its ERP system and capital asset plan — the software and processes used to track city spending and major investments.
