Discuss, consider, and take appropriate action on approving a county addendum for a data-conversion and upgrade for Active Network Software and authorizing the purchase.

This software purchase is a required upgrade to the Parks Department’s reservation/registration software system. The current software platform will no longer be supported, beginning in October 2021. This upgraded platform offers more functionality beneficial to the Parks Department as well as improved financial reporting and auditing features.

The Parks Department currently uses reservation software named MaxGalaxy by Maximum Solutions which was recently aquired by ActiveNet.  The Parks Department is now required to upgrade the existing Parks software to a new version provided by ActiveNet.  The MaxGalaxy system only works on Internet Explorer & Silverlight which are being decommissioned after March 2021 and therefor ActiveNet will cease their support of the MaxGalaxy software.  The amount for the data-conversion is $9,000.00. The department point of contact is Russell Fishbeck.  The funding source is 01.0100.0503.004100.
