Council discusses NEOGOV modules and pending contract renewal; no funding decision made
Summary
Council discussed adding modules to the county's NEOGOV human-resources system and a pending contract renewal with a first-year cost of $66,710.99; commissioners approved modules but the council deferred funding until August after further review.
Council held a discussion on the county's NEOGOV human-resources and applicant-tracking system, including proposed new modules and a pending contract renewal that requires council funding approval.
Staff said the commissioners approved adding two or three NEOGOV modules for the county and sheriff's office and that some modules are intended to centralize background checks and transition OSHA training. The first year's cost for the NEOGOV contract renewal was stated as $66,710.99. County staff told the council they do not want to pay for add-on modules in the short term if the council intends to terminate NEOGOV altogether, because the underlying contract itself must be funded.
Council members and staff described uneven usage across county departments: some larger offices (prosecutor, highways, probation, community corrections and sheriff's office) favor the system and could benefit from expanded modules, while other offices use it less. Staff said data migration away from NEOGOV could require additional expense because not everything transfers easily.
No formal vote was taken; staff said the full contract and associated funding request will be brought back to council in August for formal action. The council suggested seeking input from the compensation committee and larger offices before the funding decision.
