Plumas County advances payroll and IT modernization; approves legacy software payment and hires salary study consultant
Summary
The Board approved a non-contract invoice to continue access to the county's legacy HR/payroll system, authorized IT contracts to bring fiber and network upgrades to sheriff locations, and approved hiring Regional Government Services for a countywide salary study.
County officials told the Plumas County Board of Supervisors on Aug. 5 that the long-running conversion to a new Munis payroll/ERP system has slowed due to staffing issues and internal audits, and the county approved payment to maintain access to the legacy human-resources system so payroll can continue. Plumas County Information Technology staff requested authorization to pay a non-contract invoice to Superion LLC (CentralSquare) for continued use of legacy HR software so employees can be paid; IT staff said the payment is necessary until the county completes the ERP migration. The board approved the payment. The board also approved two IT items for the Sheriff’s Office: an amendment to a telecommunications agreement with a local provider to add fiber connectivity to the Portola substation and the primary sheriff’s office (up to $158,892) and a five‑year license purchase for Meraki switches for the sheriff’s office not to exceed $23,004. County and sheriff’s staff said the connections and modern switches will reduce deputies’ drive time to Quincy to write reports and improve CAD and dispatch reliability. Human Resources presented a confidential-unit memorandum of understanding and a pay‑schedule update consistent with recently negotiated general-unit terms; the board ratified the confidential MOU and adopted a pay schedule resolution that updates published pay ranges. Board members said they are trying to move toward more equitable, countywide compensation practices. To support that work, the board approved a contract with Regional Government Services for a comprehensive countywide salary study not to exceed $154,000. HR and county leaders said the consultant will identify appropriate comparable jurisdictions and produce position‑level analysis to help address long‑term recruitment and retention challenges. HR staff said vacancy reporting requirements and upcoming public hearings made the timing urgent.
