MINIMIZING RISK The City Council is expected to approve $30,000 to upgrade software used by City Hall’s risk management department to manage and track a variety of claims, including worker’s comp and public liability claims. An additional $160,000 will be used to purchase a five-year extended maintenance contract for the new software.
Tom Phillips, the department’s manager, said the upgrade will provide his 12-member staff and the city attorney’s office with an easier-to-use web browser interface.
Valley Oak Systems, which provided the existing risk management software, will provide the software upgrade and maintenance contract.
