Economic Development Authority (EDA) Date: 01/13/2011 By: Aaron Backman Administrative Services Title: E -Gov Link Offerings & Presentation Information Background: The Economic Development/Marketing Manager and the Deputy City Administrator /Community Development Director have been interacting with representatives of E -Gov Link. This Ohio -based company provides information technology solutions for local governments. Its offerings include Citizen Request Management (CRM), Permit, Community Calendar, Available Properties, Business Listings, Rumor Mill, and other applications, etc. I have arranged for Peter Selden from E -Gov Link to make a presentation for the Ramsey EDA members at the upcoming EDA meeting on January 13th. Recommendation: The EDA demonstration is informational for the members. No decision by the EDA is requested at this time. Funding Source: Potentially EDA fund. There are two options for pricing the E -Gov applications.* 1) Annual Pricing. The City would pay the same amount each year, as long as we use the software. Any four features @ $3,000 per year. Any added feature is $300 per year. Item #: 4. 3. 2) Up -front Pricing. The City would pay an initial upfront fee and a reduced annual fee. Saves money in under 3 years. And reduces costs by 60% after that. Any four features for $6,200 first year and $1,200 per year thereafter. Any added feature is $620 for first year and $120 per year thereafter. *E -Gov PermitsLink has a different pricing structure. Council Action: No EDA decision is recquested at this time.
