Vernon County council reviews vouchers and treasurer report; county to move parcel system to new platform
Summary
The Land Information Council reviewed December and January vouchers and heard from the treasurer about a planned migration from the GCS tax parcel system to Land Nav/Catalyst, with staff training this spring and a target move in June.
The Vernon County Land Information Council reviewed vouchers for December and January and discussed the treasurer's efforts to migrate the county's parcel and financial systems to a new, web-based platform.
Vouchers: staff reported December vouchers totaling $724.84 and January vouchers totaling $29,564.56. Line items included payments to Master Graphics for large-format printing, an AT&T mobile device charge, highway department truck rental charges, a printer/scanner purchase, and a large ticket item for an AutoCAD software renewal. Staff said some ESRI- and ArcGIS-related purchases are grant-funded through the Wisconsin Land Information Program.
Treasurer's report and software migration: the treasurer provided a snapshot for December showing $3,081.13 in income and $21,005.25 in expenses; staff said the current balance needs reconciliation. Council members discussed an upcoming migration from the GCS parcel/tax system to Land Nav (also referred to as Catalyst) with staff training planned in April and a target move date around June. County staff said the transition should be web-based and that they will allow office staff to test the new system prior to the public rollout.
Action: the council approved routine minutes from the prior meeting by motion and vote. Council members then moved on to the treasurer and voucher review without further formal action beyond the votes recorded for the minutes.
Why it matters: the system migration and clearer grant accounting are intended to improve the county's ability to track grant versus levy expenditures and to reduce link and parcel lookup problems that can affect public access to data.
Ending: staff asked for patience from departments during the migration and said training opportunities would be scheduled before the public transition.
