Warrington authorizes purchase of Edmonds GovTech financial software; treasurer cites conversion experience

Treasurer Kevin Barron presented a recommendation to buy and implement Edmonds GovTech financial software, citing prior experience with the platform and the township’s need for improved escrow and reporting tools. Barron said the three‑year total cost for Edmonds is roughly $105,645 and identified a $30,000 conversion/implementation estimate plus annual hosting and service fees (cloud hosting $5,500/year and annual service about $19,000). He compared options and said Edmonds offered the best fit and conversion timeline; his team aims to go live next year provided data reconciliation checks are completed.

Supervisors emphasized conversion risks and requested a documented implementation plan that ensures balance‑to‑report parity before going live. Board members asked about contract price escalators; Barron confirmed a three‑year locked price with up to a 5% maximum annual increase after year three. The board approved the purchase and directed staff to provide regular status updates through conversion and go‑live.
