BACKGROUND:
In 2013, the City partnered with Tyler Technologies for their Public Administration Software: Tyler Munis ERP. Initial implementation of Munis consisted of Financials and Utility Billing modules, and has since expanded to include Payroll, Building Inspections, Permitting & Licensing, among many other tools used in the overall management of city operations and resident accessibility to city resources.
CONCLUSION:
Since 2013, Munis use has grown throughout the city with the implementation of new modules and adoption of new tools and software. This Investment Assessment will evaluate the city’s current business processes and provide us with a written report that identifies how modules can be optimized, taking advantage of available functionality.
This item was recommended for City Council approval by the Communication, Technology and Information Systems Committee at the April 3, 2024 meeting.
