(KAIR)--A possible software upgrade could be coming to Jefferson County, following further exploration of the change.
Discussion about the proposal for software from GovBuilt happened during Monday- regular meeting of the Jefferson County Commission, with Chief Information Officer Chris Schmeissner and Community Development Director Dustin Parks bringing the matter before the County leaders.
According to the unofficial minutes of the meeting, it was explained to the Commission that the software allows the public and any businesses to apply online for such matters as building permit applications or licenses, while adding more uniformity and structure to the process. Applicants will be able to see where their application is in the process, and information can be shared between County offices to reduce the need for citizens to hand carry documents from one office to another.
Parks addressed the Commission about the use of the software in his office, and the cost savings that could be recognized, as well as processes that can be improved, with Parks telling the Commission he believes the software would allow the County to forgo the placement of a fourth person in the Community Development office.
Following the presentation, the Commissioners agreed, by consensus, that the software is worth investigating, with a legal review of the software-user agreement being the next step prior to any formal decision.
