Summary

The county approved a new three‑year agreement with TextMyGov at $3,500 per year and increased its annual message allotment to 100,000 messages to support growing resident communication needs.

Dunn County commissioners approved a new three‑year contract with TextMyGov to increase the county’s text messaging capacity and hold the unit price at $3,500 per year.

Sarah, who manages communications for the county, reported the county had 765 subscribers and that TextMyGov ranked in the top three preferred communication methods in a recent citizen survey. The county’s current contract included 25,000 messages per year and staff said message use had outpaced that limit. The vendor offered to maintain the $3,500 annual price while increasing the allotment to 100,000 messages per year under a new three‑year agreement, staff reported.

Commissioner Heizer moved to enter a new three‑year contract; Commissioner Olsen seconded and the motion passed by voice vote.

Staff said the larger message allotment should cover county needs for routine notifications and seasonal peaks, though occasional additional purchases may still be necessary.
