Board hears finance, enforcement, and IT modernization updates; reserves hold but enforcement timelines have lengthened
Summary
Finance staff reported FY24-25 revenue near projections and reserves at about 1.6 months; enforcement staff warned average days to final citation have risen due to increased appeals and staffing transitions; the business modernization project is behind on enforcement modules while staff pursues a direct contract with the developer.
The board received three operational briefings: the fiscal year financial report, an enforcement performance update and a status report on the board—s business modernization project.
Budget: Dawn Hall presented the FY24-25 revenue report, saying, —Our total revenue is just about $10,200,000— and that revenue is near 90% of full year projections despite a low-volume renewal year. Hall said months in reserve remain at about 1.6 months and staff expects $1—$2 million in reversions that would narrow the appropriation-to-projection gap.
Enforcement: Enforcement staff reviewed investigative metrics and reported a rise in the average days from investigation to a final citation on the citation graph. Staff attributed this increase to more citations overall, staffing shortages during a management transition, and several citations that have gone through lengthy appeals processes; those appealed matters increase the —days to final— metric until resolved. Staff noted the open-case chart (page 23) provides a more current view of active investigations.
Business modernization / IT project: Staff said many recent IT resources were dedicated to fixing examination results and diagnostics. Development of the enforcement module has been deprioritized while vendor resources address urgent fixes. To accelerate remaining work (license renewal assessment content, enforcement functionality and remaining application conversions), staff reported plans to pursue a direct contract with a developer so board work does not compete for vendor resources shared across other DCA clients.
Board members asked for additional detail on IT costs and vendor timing; staff said larger budget and schedule clarifications remain under negotiation with DCA project management and the vendor. Members also asked for more detail on enforcement case drivers and follow-up reporting to determine whether appeals or other factors are the principal cause of timeline changes.
No formal action was taken; staff said they will return with more detailed financial clarifications and progress updates on the modernization project and enforcement metrics at future meetings.
