Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: July 26, 2021
To: City Council
From: Brenda Ballou, City Clerk
Agenda Item: Contract with OpenGov, Inc. for an Online Business License Portal
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
The city previously contracted with Dude Solutions via Resolution 2020-067 to provide an online
business license,permitting,and inspection portal. Dude Solutions experienced months and months
of delays,and ultimately told the city they would not be able to complete the project in keeping with
the timeline agreed upon in the contract.On May 24,2021,council allowed the city clerk to abandon
the effort with Dude Solutions,seek full reimbursement for monies spent,and pursue a new vendor.
The reimbursement has been completed.
The target date for launching an online portal did not change;the goal is to launch in 2021. With the
"new" (read "shortened") timeline available to get the project completed, the scope of the project
was scaled back to the original direction provided by council:pursue options for getting the business
license process on an electronic application and management system.
OpenGov and Accela were two vendors that were contacted.Both vendors can provide solutions,but
Accela was over $10,00 more expensive, would require the city's Information Technology (IT)
department to provide much of the programming work,and would take approximately two months to
complete. OpenGov offered a reasonable solution that was"off the shelf,"was much more feasible,
and has a one month timeframe for completion.
While we are starting with a basic portal to provide online business license options for local
businesses, OpenGov has much more to offer, so in the future the program can be expanded to
include permitting, inspections, and much more.
INTENT:
Deliver an online business license solution.

ATTORNEY REVIEW: Yes No X
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Resolution 2021-079 and contract with OpenGov,Inc.for an online business license portal.
CLERK'S NOTE:
It's worth noting that establishing a new online business license program will require public
education, so I will be developing materials and communications to inform and educate the public
about the new system. I anticipate that 100%of business owners will be required to establish a new
account(online)and complete a fresh business license application in the new system,regardless of
their history or length of time holding a Seward business license.I will have a computer in the city
clerk's office dedicated for business owners to use.
The new portal will be focused on business license applications only.and depending on the type of
business,additional documentation may be necessary to be completed in paper form.The city clerk's
office will do everything possible to streamline the process and assist customers throughout.
The city clerk's office staff will be available to assist every business owner who needs help.
