FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: OCTOBER 7, 2025
SUBJECT: RENEWAL OF KOHA ANNUAL SUPPORT AND HOSTING FOR THE
LIBRARY INTEGRATED OPERATING SYSTEM
RECOMMENDATION: Consider the renewal of the Koha, Integrated Library System (ILS) annual
support and hosting for the library integrated operating system from
Bywater Solutions for the Grapevine Library.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the General Fund (Library) in an amount not to
exceed $19,027.
BACKGROUND: This renewal purchase is for Koha support and hosting services for
September 2025 through September 2026. The Koha integrated library
operating system is the technological backbone of the library, tracking
acquisitions, catalog, circulation, payments, subscriptions and online
public access. In addition, Koha is browser -based and doesn't require
special installations on staff machines, making it easier to access in
emergencies and less labor intensive for our IT staff.
Library Director recommends approval.
