Summary
Interim county administration reported the county will disable the AS/400 general financial system and begin using Tyler's software for payables/receivables and payroll next week; the county is also finishing appeals in a wage study with a consultant update forthcoming.
Interim County Administrator Brandon Kalish told the committee the county will begin using the Tyler financial system next week and stop using the legacy AS/400 for the general financial system portion after a final data pull scheduled the day before the transition.
Kalish said the migration covers payables, receivables and payroll and that staff have been working on security levels and access. "We will begin to actually use the software... we will be, no longer using the AS 400 system effective, our data pull, which is tomorrow at 03:00," Kalish said, noting a Thursday review session with Tyler staff to discuss voucher entry and bill payment workflows. He warned of expected implementation bumps and asked for patience during the transition.
Kalish also updated the committee on the county wage study, saying the appeals process is winding down and that the consultant, Dr. Melvin, would provide a formal written update on the appeals process and next steps. "There were some unintended things we had to deal with. But we've addressed those issues and are working very hard to move forward with that process," Kalish said, and he described a target of having job descriptions and maintenance work ready before budget season.
No formal action was taken; staff continue implementation tasks and training sessions ahead of the system switchover.
