DBI says Accela permit‑tracking on schedule for December launch; training planned
Summary
DBI project manager Henry Bartley reported that Accela implementation is on track for a Dec. 8 go‑live for DBI (internal Planning pre‑tests earlier); data conversion required a one‑week extension but milestones were absorbed; staff outlined November stakeholder trainings and public drop‑in sessions.
Henry Bartley, DBI project manager for the Accela implementation, told the commission the department remains on track for a December go‑live despite a one‑week extension for data conversion. Bartley said the data‑conversion step, dry runs and user‑acceptance testing shifted by a week but the team absorbed the delay without impacting subsequent milestones.
Planning will perform internal testing in October and go live earlier for internal functions; the public portal will not launch until DBI’s public launch so that portals align across departments. Communications director Lily Magis outlined outreach and training plans, including targeted stakeholder sessions in November and drop‑in hands‑on public training shortly after launch.
Commissioners asked that code‑enforcement partners be included in training and praised staff for keeping the project on schedule. DBI staff said a soft launch and additional public‑facing training sessions are planned to reduce counter congestion when the system opens.
