Committee discussion indicated members may decline optional add‑on services such as expanded reference checks or emotional‑intelligence testing; staff said those options could be added later if desired. The committee moved and approved the recruitment contract and will fund it from the finance director recruitment budget.

Resolution recognizing retirement of Barbara Scott: The committee approved a resolution recognizing the retirement of Barbara Scott and directed the item to the full county board as a routine resolution of appreciation.

LIDAR/geospatial agreement: The committee voted to forward the proposed LIDAR/geospatial enhancement and hosting agreement to the full county board for final action, asking staff to provide clarified contract language and any recurring hosting fee details before the full‑board vote.

Staff said the contract work would consolidate disparate data tiles, add enhancements and provide an online platform so county users — including emergency management, the sheriff's office and planning and zoning — can access the information in one place.

Staff told the committee the total cost for the LIDAR enhancement project is about $112,450. Funding sources cited at the meeting included the NG911 grant, the 2024 land information grant and retained fees derived from recording document fees. Staff said 2024 grant funds must be spent by the end of 2025. Committee members sought clarification on hosting arrangements and any ongoing annual hosting fee; staff said hosting and any annual fee were not clear from the materials provided at the meeting and promised to return with contract language and hosting cost details.

Committee members also discussed public access. Staff said the county could make the hosted LIDAR data publicly accessible; some counties charge for access while others do not. Members noted the county owns the underlying data and could opt to host itself if the county later chose not to continue a hosting contract.

A committee member moved and the committee approved forwarding the agreement and staff materials to the full county board for final action, with the understanding Kathy (land information staff) would provide additional information on hosting terms and any recurring fees.

Ending: The committee advanced the LIDAR/geospatial contract to the full county board, asking staff to supply contract language and clarify hosting arrangements and any ongoing costs before the full‑board vote.","The committee discussed a proposed contract to enhance and host county LIDAR/geospatial data, heard the estimated total project cost and sources of grant funding, and voted to send the item to the full county board with additional information requested from staff.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6075990,"Committee to recommend process for appeals of late tax payments tied to postal errors",361,1951000,2312000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2978086-88f23d37be222560dce0ce5b2df5bad9&start=1951&end=2312","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2978086-88f23d37be222560dce0ce5b2df5bad9/thumbnail_1951000.jpg","/articles/6075990/Richland-County/Wisconsin/Committee-to-recommend-process-for-appeals-of-late-tax-payments-tied-to-postal-errors","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6075990-284d113777514db00dca128074c5323d/orig.mp4?Expires=1777432325&Signature=Z86eLSsq0lcoN83TWkaVGEk9EyzwhrK-Y2wB0CfNBSD5P-onLeX1tbNQ7l0oQ8L5FbEk7g58ZhEZaH7vVEmqeMD73n~rO5KtmM6hNuaU4SwJ-AMXn6x2dKbD5DK2yJqoyNZiBYTE1e9RqZaYtPXVO4UOsHmBs7eYytPa2Q42w7iERtYBW-r93D6CF0rM7H3DxQJ1-jRBH0Hk-EfMBvSXo3UN63giLO3RK4zEzAeZIrUXy2cKNg~K7r8Ba5TeH6FJ-E7uPe6YURzV0xOAX2LY~ZcDsd9E5GbnDCwDXRmHJ79NMV4GM~uqK2cW060NBwUL2rviXWov7OVde-1d~cELpA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The committee discussed April 8 how Richland County should handle appeals from taxpayers who missed a property‑tax deadline and contend the failure was the fault of the U.S. Postal Service. County staff said state law permits the county board to make that determination or to delegate the decision to a committee or to an official.

Staff described a quasi‑judicial process in which the taxpayer would be notified of the hearing, could present evidence or call witnesses, and the designated body or official would weigh the evidence and decide whether a postal error excused the missed payment. Staff advised against delegating the authority to the treasurer because the treasurer receives collection materials and that could create an appearance of conflict.

Most committee members said they preferred that a committee hear the first appeals for efficiency and to give taxpayers representatives on a decision body. The committee discussed keeping hearings open to the public unless the taxpayer requests a closed session and noted the burden of proof would fall to the taxpayer to provide documentation from the Postal Service or other evidence supporting an administrative error or delay. Staff said interest on unpaid taxes accrues from the missed deadline, so an unresolved appeal can have a monetary consequence.

Action requested of the committee was a recommendation so staff could prepare a written resolution to present to the full county board. Staff said they will draft a resolution that names which body will hear these appeals and will circulate it in advance of the next county board meeting for formal action.

Ending: Staff will prepare a draft resolution delegating authority to a committee (unless the board directs otherwise) and will present that resolution to the full county board for adoption.","The committee discussed whether to delegate authority to hear taxpayer appeals over late payments blamed on USPS delivery errors and asked staff to draft a resolution outlining procedure and delegation.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6075995,"Richland County details payroll cutover to Tyler, plans changes to sick and vacation accruals",179,154000,333000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2978086-88f23d37be222560dce0ce5b2df5bad9&start=154&end=333","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2978086-88f23d37be222560dce0ce5b2df5bad9/thumbnail_154000.jpg","/articles/6075995/Richland-County/Wisconsin/Richland-County-details-payroll-cutover-to-Tyler-plans-changes-to-sick-and-vacation-accruals","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6075995-b24bc18eb518a93920450d67f5929e48/orig.mp4?Expires=1777432325&Signature=AFs33q5QXKQEu8GJA8vilEEQMP9LH0C0sPtnX2OfKqxQTZvYDYPpSp5vJuCndKX94wPXYQcr2kZens82qAcTbY39iR8oIq0si8KenxsL6amNCuJxVtPMsYE0eLrG5J~R~aaGvyOqj8fF5m~nqJuyHdmMRHhOUneHMU1eNPhyi6nPPK-Sd4JN9KUGTwWYP6y~P6zacEvevrSV2d1t7eAGfQHrCn9UDgMFZRc5xDPqXJQ0V-LtLaTjSal5-8ZxBq~gP9e3u0c4gqlorC8TL~GbiZXi1NLoec7KKMa~aTzyqMCMKXpXrhwR-2cGpMGfKoLW0hQD0SqVh0x7OivKzx1riw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Richland County Finance Standing Committee on April 8 heard a status report on the county's HR and payroll migration to the Tyler enterprise system and was told staff will change how sick and vacation leave are accrued and displayed on pay stubs.

County staff said payroll is being migrated in phases: Pine Valley and Highway payrolls will be processed in the legacy system through April 11, a final data pull is planned for about 4 p.m. April 16, and the remaining payrolls are scheduled to run in Tyler on April 17. Staff said they expect the county to stop using the legacy payroll system at the end of April and move fully to Tyler, acknowledging there will likely be several operational “bumps” during the transition.

Officials said the county will change accrual rules so sick leave is accrued automatically across the two pay periods that make up most months rather than posted as an annual “dump” on each employee's anniversary date. Under the planned setup, an employee’s sick accrual for the month will be split and posted half in the first pay period and half in the second, and months that include a third pay period will not post additional accruals in that extra pay period. When sick or vacation hours appear on an employee’s pay stub under Tyler, staff said employees will be able to use those hours immediately. The county indicated it will program a maximum sick‑bank cap in Tyler so employees at the cap will not continue to accrue.

Vacation will move from the current practice of an annual lump‑sum credit at hire/anniversary to per‑pay‑period accrual tied to the existing handbook schedule. The county proposes that accrued vacation must be used within 12 months of accrual instead of the current 18 months; staff said that change will require an update to the employee handbook and that exceptions (for example, to allow carryover) would be handled case‑by‑case and likely require board approval. For long‑tenured employees the county said existing cash‑out provisions remain available: employees with 15 or more years' service may be eligible to cash in one week (40 hours) of vacation, per current practice. Comp time was described as accruing as earned with a maximum bank of 40 hours.

Staff cautioned that the new approach slightly alters some fractional accrual totals (for example, rounding to simpler fractions to match Tyler's handling), but said the changes are intended to reduce manual spreadsheets and administrative work. Managers and department heads will be informed of the changes before they are applied, and handbook revisions will be prepared and returned to the board for formal amendment.

The committee was not asked to take formal action at the meeting; staff said they will instruct the Tyler implementation team to configure the system based on the committee's direction and bring handbook changes to the board for approval in the coming weeks. Staff also said additional training and support will be required during the cutover and that they will continue parallel verifications of payroll runs until confident the migration is complete.

Ending: County staff plan to finalize the Tyler configuration and begin phased go‑live work in mid‑April; the committee directed staff to proceed and to return with formal handbook language and any remaining implementation details for board action.","The finance standing committee heard an April 8 update on the county's migration of HR/payroll functions to the Tyler system, including go‑live dates, a new approach to sick and vacation accruals, handbook changes and limits on comp time.","actionData","errors"]
