SUMMARY: The District
utilizes Accela software for its demand management program. This database is
used for the rebate program, property title transfer compliance and permitting. The system also includes inventories for all
types of water fixtures and uses, credits and debits occurring as part of the
water permit process, financial accounting, and tracking of allocations and
entitlements.
The Accela software has been highly customized, and due to the complex and advanced nature of the District’s regulations, the system is very complex. When regulations are changed, there is a need to adjust the functionality of the Accela system. Etech Consulting is available on an as-needed hourly basis to implement changes to the system. Staff requests approval for up to 50 hours at $175 for a not to exceed amount of $8,750 for Fiscal Year 2023-24.
RECOMMENDATION: The
Finance and Administration Committee recommends approval of the expenditure of up to $8,750 for Accela
maintenance. Funding for this work is included in the Fiscal Year
2023-24 proposed budget.
