Assessor Amanda recommended on July 18 that Jefferson County award its four-year cyclical reassessment contract to Tyler Technologies, saying the company's long-term experience with county assessment operations would help with ratio studies, trending and other technical work. The county commissioners voted to accept the recommendation and instructed staff to complete contract signatures.

The recommendation followed a competitive process in which the assessor said the county received two bids, from Tyler Technologies and Vision Government Solutions. Amanda told the commissioners the county has retained Tyler for most of her 16-year career in county government and that the company's local project manager and technical knowledge provide value that is difficult to quantify.

In presenting the contracts, Amanda said she brought three copies of each bid and had marked the copies requiring signatures. A commissioner made a motion to accept the Tyler bid; there was no further discussion and the motion passed. Amanda noted the county could sign the copies after the meeting.

The assessor framed the decision as continuity for the county's reassessment cycle; she also offered to email the contract documents to commissioners for review. The commissioners did not discuss pricing or contract terms on the record during the meeting.

Next steps: commissioners signed the contract copies as arranged with the assessor and staff will complete administrative processing. No additional public hearings or votes on the contract were recorded during the July 18 meeting.
