Boone County approves expanded NeoGov contract to consolidate HR systems, officials say it will reduce costs
Summary
The Boone County commissioners approved adding NeoGov modules for benefits administration and timekeeping, with county staff saying the three‑year consolidation could save roughly $80,000–$100,000 compared with prior plans.
Boone County commissioners approved adding modules to the county's NeoGov human-resources platform to consolidate benefits administration and timekeeping across departments.
Amber (HR staff) presented the proposal and said the expansion would replace the county’s current benefits administration system and integrate timekeeping; the sheriff’s office will move its background‑check processing to a vetted NeoGov module under a related agreement. A county official who reviewed the numbers said the three‑year contract was expected to produce savings compared with prior projections. “This saves somewhere between $80,000 and $100,000, compared to what was being contemplated last year with NeoGov,” a county official said during the meeting.
Commissioners moved to approve the contract addition; the motion passed. County staff said final contract details will return for signature in July and that negotiated reductions were achieved through committee discussions. An auditor was added to the county compensation committee during the meeting to assist in reviewing total compensation packages and job descriptions as part of broader HR work tied to the NeoGov rollout.
Staff said first-year NeoGov costs previously quoted for timekeeping and benefits were about $41,000 before negotiations, and that internal negotiations reduced the county’s effective cost. Commissioners directed HR to proceed with contract execution and to coordinate the sheriff's office transition where applicable.
