Background and Discussion:
On August 10, 2021, Community Services requested approval of an award to Applied Business Software, Inc.
for the period of August 10, 2021 - August 9, 2022, with four (4) one-year renewal options (200132). On July
21, 2022, Community Service requested renewal option with Applied Business Software, Inc. Community
Service is now requesting authorization to renew the Applied Business Software contract for the period of
August 10, 2024 - August 09, 2025.

Expected Impact: The renewal of this agreement is being requested in order that the department can
continue to utilize the software and process request without delays.

Alternative Options: The alternative would be for staff to seek other resources to assess customers' needs to
review, approve, or deny service requests. The inability to process customers' requests would impede the
services CSD has been tasked to perform.
