Staff recommends that the City Council:

2) Authorize the City Manager or Designee to execute all documents.

Retrieval of stored documents such as Resolutions, Ordinances, Minutes and Agreements is accessible to staff in all departments.
In 2020, the OnBase System was moved to Hyland's cloud-based hosting services for improved automated updates, stronger security and removed the need for physical hardware. OnBase was upgraded to the latest recommended version in August 2024 to optimize operational efficiency and ensure long-term technical compatibility.
ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION
Historically, the subscription for OnBase renews annually plus 10%
BlueIris IQ presented a 5-year renewal option where the subscription rate will lock in an increase of only 5% each year, resulting in $52,120.95 in savings over the 5-year period.
