E-Gov Link Offerings & Presentation

The Economic Development/Marketing Manager and the Deputy City Administrator/Community Development Director have been interacting with representatives of E-Gov Link.  This Ohio-based company provides information technology solutions for local governments.  Its offerings include Citizen Request Management (CRM), Permit, Community Calendar, Available Properties, Business Listings, Rumor Mill, and other applications, etc.  I have arranged for Peter Selden from E-Gov Link to make a presentation for the Ramsey EDA members at the upcoming EDA meeting on January 13th.

The EDA demonstration is informational for the members.  No decision by the EDA is requested at this time. 

Potentially EDA fund.  There are two options for pricing the E-Gov applications.*

 

1) Annual Pricing.  The City would pay the same amount each year, as long as we use the software.

    Any four features @ $3,000 per year.  Any added feature is $300 per year.

 

2) Up-front Pricing.  The City would pay an initial upfront fee and a reduced annual fee.  Saves money in under 3 years.

    And reduces costs by 60% after that.  Any four features for $6,200 first year and $1,200 per year thereafter.

    Any added feature is $620 for first year and $120 per year thereafter.

 

*E-Gov PermitsLink has a different pricing structure.

No EDA decision is recquested at this time.
