Title

Vote to approve contract renewal with OpenGov for permitting software

Abstract

Introduction & Background: OpenGov is the Permitting software used by Central Permitting, Chatham Co. Planning, Watershed Protection, Environmental Health, Town of Pittsboro and Town of Siler City. 

Discussion & Analysis:  This renewal will allow continued use of the software that we have utilized for the last 3 years.  Pittsboro elected to use this software last year and Siler City desires to utilize it this upcoming calendar year.  Siler City has adopted a Resolution and an Interlocal Agreement with the County at their November 6^th, 2023 meeting to share the use of this software. 

How does this relate to the Comprehensive Plan:  This software provides the infrastructure to support desired development and support economic growth and environmental objectives.

Budgetary Impact:  The total amount for the 3 year contract period is $314,686.22.  The cost will be shared by all user departments - $7,500/year for Pittsboro, Siler City, Chatham Planning, Watershed Protection and Environmental Health.   The remaining amount is paid by Central Permitting. 

Recommendation/Motion:  Motion to approve the 3 year renewal and associated yearly costs.
