Orange County officials discussed a proposed DevNet contract to supply camera and voice software for the assessor’s office and planned how to migrate billing and prepayment data to the new system.

County staff told the board they negotiated liquidated‑damages language and a sunset provision in the vendor contract and worked through timeline issues with Amanda, Jeff and Josh. Staff outlined a phased migration in which mobile‑home bills and prepayments would be handled by the old system for a billing cycle, then imported into DevNet when DevNet begins assessor‑side operations.

The county’s IT contact discussed technical details including a planned import/patch from the current system to DevNet and that additional temporary staff would be hired to enter legacy data during the cutover. Staff compared the county’s plan to Jefferson County’s rollout, noting Jefferson experienced delays and a postponed mobile‑home billing cycle during its migration.

A goal was stated to have tax bills sent by the end of August or Sept. 1 after data imports and rate cutoffs are confirmed. Staff said contingency funds were available to cover additional programming charges that DevNet may require.

A motion to approve the contract was made during the meeting. The transcript records the motion but does not include a recorded second or a roll‑call outcome for that specific contract motion; the article therefore does not report a final vote tally.

County staff and commissioners also discussed potential hardware upgrades needed across departments to run the new software and the need to coordinate with other offices as they adopt DevNet.

The discussion concluded with staff indicating contract text was signed or in place “in dark ink,” and that they believed implementation was on schedule subject to the migration steps described.

The matter was moved; the transcript does not show a recorded vote result for the motion in the posted segments.
