Microsoft software agreement renewal was on the Jan. 26 council agenda

In materials published ahead of the Jan. 26, 2026 meeting, the Marysville City Council was scheduled to consider authorizing the Mayor to sign documentation for the city's Microsoft Enterprise Agreement, with a renewal quote showing $163,101.27 for Year 1 1.

What the records say

In materials published ahead of the Jan. 26, 2026 City Council meeting, the agenda listed item 10: Microsoft Enterprise Enrollment Years 4-6. The recommended motion was to authorize the Mayor to sign and execute all necessary documentation for the city's Microsoft Enterprise Agreement 1. The agenda report described the request as an amendment to the recently approved three-year term of the agreement, to rectify an incorrect SKU number, with quotes covering the upcoming term (1/1/2026 through 12/31/2026) and an overview of total cost over the next 3-year cycle 1. The PRTN200 quote included in the packet shows a grand total of $163,101.27 for Year 1 of the renewal, covering the 1/1/2026–12/31/2026 term 1. Three attachments were listed for the item: a renewal document dated 1.21.26, the PRTN200 quote, and an updated EA quote dated 1.16.26 1. The contents of the updated EA quote — which would show the 3-year total cost overview — are not included in the supplied text, so the full 3-year cost is not established by the available records.
