City staff said the city has used Granicus since about 2015 and that last year’s cost was about $19,000; the new proposed three-year commitment would total not to exceed $70,042.19, with an annual charge of roughly $21,000 in the first year.
Councilmembers asked whether the city’s version is cloud-based or server-hosted; staff answered the city maintains an on‑site server that was upgraded a few years ago and can run the current version.
A councilmember questioned whether multi‑year agreements are prudent given roughly 10% annual price increases among vendors; staff replied that Granicus is the primary vendor in this niche and that staff weighed the options and selected the version that meets the city’s needs.
The contract was placed on the consent agenda as Resolution 25-0-76 and approved by roll call.
