Explanation
BACKGROUND: Ordinance No. 0807-2011, passed May 23, 2011, authorized the City Clerk to enter into contract with Daystar Computer Systems, Inc. for the installation of Legistar for legislative tracking software. The Legistar system is the city's established citywide electronic system for writing and submitting legislation, creating and maintaining Council Agendas and Journals, recording Council votes, and assisting in the production of the City Bulletin. It has since been determined that Daystar Computer Systems, Inc. was purchased by Granicus, Inc. thereby making the name of the contracting entity in the original ordinance incorrect. The correct name of the contracting entity should be Granicus, Inc. This ordinance amends 0807-2011 to correct the name of the contracting entity to Granicus, Inc.
Emergency action is requested to provide for continuity in the daily operation of the City Clerk's Office requiring the immediate necessity to enter into a service contract with Granicus, Inc.
FISCAL IMPACT: No additional funds are required for this amendment.
