05.05.2026 Special Board of Commissioners Meeting

The Clare County Special Board of Commissioners meeting held on May 5, 2026, focused primarily on the procurement and implementation of a cloud-based software solution for the county's tax and financial systems. The board discussed the transition from their current system to the BSNA Cloud platform due to the obsolescence of existing servers and the high costs associated with maintaining the current SMA system. An RFP process was conducted, and after evaluating bids and vendor capabilities, the board approved the purchase of the PSNA 12 software service with a grant funding amount of $495,185, of which the county's portion is $61,155. The board acknowledged potential challenges such as vendor support and training but emphasized the benefits of moving to a cloud solution to avoid costly server replacements and to streamline operations. The motion to approve the purchase was passed unanimously.
