CANTON Stark County commissioners voted 3-0 Wednesday to approve the Stark County Sheriff s Office purchasing a cloud-based records system from Tyler Technologies for the sheriff s office and jail.
The cost is $1.02 million for equipment, software and installation, plus at least $289,735 a year in maintenance but with no maintenance fee the first 18 months. After the fifth year, the cost of maintenance can increase up to 3% per year.
The estimated cost of having the system for over 10 years is about $3.52 million. Tyler had said the price quote was only good until Thursday.
Sheriff George Maier told the commissioners in a work session Dec. 14 that for each local law enforcement agency that chooses to also use the system, Tyler would discount the county 1% on the annual maintenance fee.
