REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Robin Crough, City Clerk
Andrea Surratt, City Manager
SUBJECT: Authorize the City Manager to Sign a Software Subscription and
Services Agreement with Granicus, LLC for Meeting Management
Software
MEETING DATE: February 25, 2019
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the city manager to sign a Software Subscription and
Services Agreement with Granicus, LLC for meeting management software.
BACKGROUND: The City Clerk’s Office has need to upgrade its current meeting
management software. While the software is still functioning, the host company has not
supported this software for a number of years, and does not plan to any longer in the future,
which presents a risk if it unexpectedly (or inevitably) fails. Because software for this purpose
has advanced in recent years and now provides a number of other features that can benefit the
city and its citizens, now is an appropriate time to upgrade.
After a thorough review of a number of products, and after obtaining quotes for their services,
the city clerk selected Granicus, LLC’s Peak Agenda tool as the most appropriate
vendor/software to meet the city’s specific needs. The primary purpose of the software is to
continue to facilitate the efficient production of city commission agendas and packet materials,
record and livestream meetings, and provide integrated and timestamped meeting minutes (all
currently done for meetings). When implemented, the software will add a new feature that
enables searching meetings by keywords, dates, etc. from the public site, as well as hosting all
video, packets, agendas, and minutes in the same place. Additional included features that can and
will be rolled out on a future timeline include digital packets for the city commission, a boards
and commissions management module (primarily increasing the efficiency of
management/tracking for the City Clerk’s Office behind the scene, but will also provide better
web access to information for the public), and the ability for boards and commissions to use the
meeting management software for their meetings.
80
The agreement has been reviewed by the IT department and City Attorney’s Office.
UNRESOLVED ISSUES: None.
ALTERNATIVES: As determined by the city commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Initial hardware, training, and data import services have a one-time cost
of $14,000. Annual service fees start at $20,190.00 with an annual 5% increase for five years
until contract negotiation (typical in this field). This was budgeted for in the FY19 budget and
will be incorporated in future budgets. There will be some cost savings as this product
incorporates the boards module, which was budgeted for separately in the FY19 budget. The
City’s current recording/streaming software will no longer be needed and will return
approximately $5,500 annually as well.

consultants, contractors and lobbyists who have a need to know, who have been advised of the
confidential nature thereof, and who are under express written obligations of confidentiality or
under obligations of confidentiality imposed by law or rule; and (e) to exercise at least the same
standard of care and security to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information
received by it as it protects its own confidential information.
If a Receiving Party is requested or required in a judicial, administrative, or governmental
proceeding to disclose any Confidential Information or is required to disclose the information
pursuant to applicable Montana law, it will notify the Disclosing Party as promptly as practicable
so that the Disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective order or waiver for that instance.
6.2. Exceptions. Confidential Information shall not include information which: (i) is or becomes public
knowledge through no fault of the Receiving Party; (ii) was in the Receiving Party’s possession

and/or send Confidential Information, Granicus must be notified in writing, in advance of the

Information immediately upon written request by the Disclosing Party; provided, however, that
each Receiving Party may retain one copy of the Confidential Information in order to comply with
applicable laws and the terms of the Agreement. Customer understands and agrees that it may
not always be possible to completely remove or delete all personal data from Granicus’
databases without some residual data because of backups and for other reasons.
