time, the Parks Department reached out to OpenGov for a Work Order Program. The map issue was not
remedied until late March. Wasterwater took over discussion with OpenGove, as we signed the
previous contract. The Drainage/Stormwater Departments have been a participant of the CMMS
program since it was implemented in 2011. The current contract with Brightly, which runs Asset
Essentials, is for 2025 of$45,270.57, of which is$8,268.75. Using this figure and the contract
information on the Cost Breakdown sheet, is a reduction of the cost of the current work order system.
The Sanitary Sewer Board is asking for approval of continued participation in the CMMS
program, with the plan for Drainage to contribute $7,757.45 in May of 2026 and $8,269.80 in May 2027.
The contract will be up for renewal in 2028, which should be continuing 5% increase, however, that will
be known at the time of renewal.
