Village clerk offered $800 Harris training package for financial software

The Village of Cold Spring received a quote from Harris Local Government for remote overview training covering MicroFund, PayForce and FlexiBill aimed at the Village Clerk/Treasurer, Marjorie Gage. The written quote proposes a four-hour overview session for each product with a total price of $800 and an expiration date on Dec. 31, 2026.

Mark Briglio, regional sales representative for Harris, wrote that the package is designed to "help meet your immediate needs" and includes one 4-hour overview session for each product; he said the company can provide additional training if requested. The quote notes additional training is available at $200.00 per hour, travel and lodging expenses will be billed if on-site work is required, and a $500 cancellation fee may apply for late rescheduling.

The quote was forwarded in the board packet under the agenda item to approve the Harris training; the packet contains the full terms and an acceptance signature line for the village to sign and return if it wishes to proceed. The agenda lists the motion to approve the Harris quote for financial database training for the Village Clerk/Treasurer; the packet does not show whether the Board approved the expenditure.
