Dunn County manager updates board on ERP procurement and stronger-than-expected 2024 sales tax receipts
Summary
County manager described progress on enterprise resource planning procurement with selected vendors and said 2024 sales tax receipts exceeded the budget by about $658,000; staff expect 2025 budget of $5 million to be near target.
Dunn County Manager Chris Corpula told the Executive Committee on Jan. 8 that the county is moving toward a contract for an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system and that 2024 sales tax receipts outperformed the adopted budget by roughly $658,167.
Corpula said a contract negotiation group met before the executive committee and that the county has selected a primary ERP vendor called "BS and A," with a second vendor, Andrews, proposed to provide timekeeping functions. The county will continue to integrate an existing contract with NeoGov for recruitment and onboarding into the broader system. Corpula said staff expect to present an implementation timeline after contracts are finalized.
Why it matters: An ERP implementation centralizes finance, human resources, payroll and related administrative systems; selection and contracting set the schedule and cost baseline for a multi-year implementation.
On county revenues, Corpula said the county finished 2024 with $5,200,000 in sales tax receipts against a budgeted $4.5 million, roughly $658,167 above budget. He cautioned that one large spike in February 2024 appears to be a one-time event and that staff do not expect an identical spike in 2025. "I think we've budgeted $5,000,000 in 2025, and that should be pretty much spot on if things continue as they continue," Corpula told the committee.
Corpula credited project staff Katie Gallagher (project manager) and "Tiffany" (assistant) for keeping the ERP project on schedule. Committee members praised county staff for the procurement progress and asked for future reports on implementation timing and potential budget impacts.
The manager also reminded members of a retirement coffee for county employee Nick scheduled Friday from 1 to 3 p.m. in room 54; staff said his last day is Saturday.
Ending: County staff said they will return with a proposed ERP implementation timeline and any contract documents for board review once negotiations conclude.
