Purchasing agent Miss Kim and IT manager Bill Ryan said the county has used GoTo Technologies for three years and will continue with the same vendor but change the distributor and contract vehicle to TIPS, a cooperative recognized by the State of Missouri. Ryan said the county had been paying for a premium service tier it did not need; moving to the basic tier will lower the monthly bill from about $6,000 to approximately $3,700.

Ryan explained how the system works operationally: desk phones connect through the cloud so staff can take a desk phone to another location and retain calls; the county pays a per‑device charge. He said the county currently has many unused desk phones in inventory — roughly 30 to 40 — and could activate a portion of those at lower cost when needed.

A commissioner highlighted the county’s recent investment in an internal IT department and praised staff by name, saying the county is saving money and responding more quickly with an in‑house team. The commissioner thanked “Bill, John, and Mitch” as IT staff who support operations.

After discussion, a motion to approve the TIPS cooperative contract 221003 for GoTo Technologies was made, seconded and approved by voice vote. The county will migrate purchasing to the TIPS contract and adjust the service tier to reflect current usage.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Christian County Commission - 2025-09-04","oneSentenceSummary","The commission approved buying GoTo phone services through the TIPS cooperative contract, reducing projected monthly costs from about $6,000 to $3,700 and highlighting benefits of an in-house IT team.","taxTitle","Christian County, Missouri","taxId",52859,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6128763,"Commission approves three-year renewal of Ulrich CAMAS software for assessor’s office",153,500630,654380,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5750237-ab734c12cbb26fa54abd8c2e84c09efe&start=500&end=654","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5750237-ab734c12cbb26fa54abd8c2e84c09efe/thumbnail_500630.jpg","/articles/6128763/Christian-County/Missouri/Commission-approves-three-year-renewal-of-Ulrich-CAMAS-software-for-assessors-office","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6128763-e0b53e25def08ce6aeba8022cbfce5e1/orig.mp4?Expires=1770442162&Signature=JYFNlp-4bh8rxwlUlEhfGeRQ8TYJ9qU8AALqqG9j3URazAedotpQ41Zg4Xrb7M7TztGCQd8ebbvNk7Vp33pbptlKeb3wNv3Mc3g-aFIWEkB-SolMA10IEPWTarlTKOdeZtt2pPcu4dlhvCYqdT-OC1hsORX1536-XJjKM27o~-EWF8FYHXESdDIINdCtuK56yLG-LnioM72CM2-PigrNSwfabM-4jhV3rq9f0x-7N7H6FAmODvfwod9NSYRTo9I4fxqQhl6JmP0fW1vvkVIuwG5bX2JiTQ~NFHJtjJQpVirtGcibm9iBRAU7j~xFl3t4Y1KQGjtJMTUUS3tgwzK-kg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Christian County Commission voted to renew the assessor’s office software contract with Ulrich for an additional term starting Sept. 24 and ending Sept. 23, 2026. The contract covers licenses and maintenance for the computer‑assisted mass appraisal (CAMAS) system used by the assessor.

Purchasing agent Miss Kim presented the item and introduced Jeremy Burns, the newly sworn‑in county assessor. Burns was present but did not read substantive details on record; county staff explained this is the third renewal year of the vendor contract originally entered in 2022. County staff said the renewal was the recommended action.

A county staff member explained why the Ulrich system is used: “every assessor's office has to have a CAMAS system, computer assisted mass appraisal. And Ulrich, it is their system that we use for our CAMAS system. And so and they are also a locally owned company right here in Christian County. They're out in Nixon, Missouri.” The staff member added that roughly two or three dozen counties in the state use Ulrich’s product.

Commissioners noted the renewal included about a $2,000 annual increase compared with prior years. After discussion, a motion to approve the contract renewal was made, seconded and passed by voice vote. The commission record shows the renewal was accepted and will be implemented by the assessor’s office under existing procurement terms.

Background: The CAMAS system supports valuation and property records for real estate and personal property; the contract provides software licenses and maintenance services.","The commission approved a renewal of the county’s contract with Ulrich for computer‑assisted mass appraisal software; renewal runs Sept. 24, 2024, through Sept. 23, 2026, and includes about a $2,000 annual increase.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6128768,"Commissioners approve replat of Riverpointe Dental lot in Government Plaza",382,58200,440780,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5750237-ab734c12cbb26fa54abd8c2e84c09efe&start=58&end=440","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5750237-ab734c12cbb26fa54abd8c2e84c09efe/thumbnail_58200.jpg","/articles/6128768/Christian-County/Missouri/Commissioners-approve-replat-of-Riverpointe-Dental-lot-in-Government-Plaza","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6128768-f81c931ee329f3d567222173e48e03e0/orig.mp4?Expires=1770442162&Signature=WVGNnVD3QcONHnJCWYPHVWAtzgPbE07IgjtJCg-O9BGecJvVXldoF0rW0qd5rDstztbmIlb-rFV79cyk5blhypT2mdc8EBGP46x1w3yyjCyC6akxVUWD8IQnXArrypw7Rd5U21GZYW8ovgxrwrgWC3TiLA1CZqr6nZNAQc4II20qqZ6xHden4m8iYUjp7n1aOnggOmDU2esfiDQHU3LNPodT5cDsOPIoUzawT50HhVVEZOhKLwzF~ywVTfXBVlZFj51cSmWdVFn8YZKhkXYvHBzVxd7slXSuddq2ECD2MXIf0zeOoj4KKNHHCxRQbsztCy73kTUjN23UPJc6HEWMSw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Christian County Commission voted to approve a replat to divide Lot 5 in Government Plaza, owned by Riverpointe Dental, into three tracts to allow two additional buildings to be built. The commission’s written consent was signed immediately after the vote so the applicant can file the replat with the county.

Jeffrey Butler, an architect representing Riverpointe Dental, told the commission that “They bought Lot 5 in Government Plaza, which is way bigger than they need for their little office building,” and said the owner wants to subdivide the parcel so “2 additional buildings can be built on it.” Butler said the subdivision requires county approval because of the property covenants.

Commissioners and staff discussed whether the covenants include design controls. One commissioner said the covenants did not appear to impose design restrictions, and Butler said the owner “is gonna be very careful about what goes in there.” The commission chair said the county and the owner want a cohesive look and that the owner, as master developer of that section, will control who buys the lots.

The chair also said the parties talked about limiting certain uses, adding, “we probably wouldn't want another marijuana, retail business out there,” and indicated the owner would protect the investment and aesthetic coherence of the development. Staff and the applicant agreed to supply the required mylar and paper prints for filing.

The commission record shows a motion and second were made; the chair called for the ayes and said the motion passed. The replat, signatures and immediate filing were arranged at the meeting so the applicant could go ahead and record the new lot lines.

Background: The discussion occurred after the commission opened regular business and followed the consent agenda item. Todd, the county planning and zoning director, was noted as absent (attending an out‑of‑town meeting).","The county commission voted to approve a replat that divides Lot 5 in Government Plaza into three tracts to allow additional buildings; discussion included aesthetic consistency and permitted uses.","actionData","errors"]
