“Okay, so this program that we're getting Is this the 7,100, is it for both items that it's doing on here for both of the resolution, or is this a separate price for each resolution?”

“Okay, and my next question is, so I'm reading on here where it says that I'm on page 18, 204, where it says that the total investment is $7,691, but the annual reoccurring services is $7,100. I'm trying to understand, how did the difference come? Because I see it was initial $9,635, and then it says total investment initial. It's $7,691.66. So is that going to be for this year? And then is it after the next year it's going to go down to $7,100? Do you want me to answer?”

“And so what if we decide not to go with them and we decide that we want to go with another company and we're leaving a balance at the end of the year?”

“Right. And so where it says, so we're going to automatically, it says automatic one-year renewal. So even if we're not satisfied with them or we see where some changes need to be made, we're going to write and put in the contract that we're going to still automatically renew them and be held to that because we're.”

“When does the contract expire that we have now with them?”

“And so how much are we actually paying them now?”

“So my last question is, so this contract, when it ends annually, it will not come to us because it's, again, for the next year because it says that it's automatically annually renewed, and then it says a 5% to be applied in year two. So that means for two years, this contract won't come before us because of what we put in the contract, so we won't see this contract annually.”
City Commission · Aug 25, 2026

“So that's what we need to make sure we understand that that's what we're seeing, that they're not coming to us annually.”
City Commission · Aug 25, 2026
- Play at 36:18
“I'm just saying that I'm clarifying that all these contracts are not coming to us annually, that some of them are going to automatically renew because that's what we're putting in here to say that they are to renew and not come back before the commission, that we're automatically renewing them for two years.”

“So you're saying we're going to pay $7,000 for the website, and you're saying this is going to be on a different website, we're paying a different fee to service this, or it's on the same website, but maybe I'm not understanding it.”

“And I just have one question since she said with the proclamations. So with this new software, so if it's going to do all of this, because the attorney looks at the proclamations as well, right? I guess I'm trying to figure out.”

“Yes, ma'am. So I have one last question then. So when she's talking about these files and you have to get them from another department, so this system we're getting is supposed to organize it better. So then I guess my question is, how is i guess it's going to be some type of training that each department understands how to scan these records in and this is what they're naming these records because if just say for instance if i'm at hr or i'm just going to say parks and rec and someone wants copies of something and they scan them in and they got to go through you to get them, I mean, how are…”

“Okay, wait, I know the difference. So what I'm saying is right now if I request something from Parks and Rec., I request something from Parks and Rec. You don't have it. Parks and Rec has it. So you have to get it from Parks and Rec. Yes, ma'am. That is correct.”
