Committee sends five‑year PeopleSoft extension to full board after roll call
Summary
Committee approved forwarding a five‑year extension for the city's PeopleSoft human capital/payroll support agreement with Oracle/Arco to the full board; the motion passed on a roll call (Tang aye; Peskin no; Cohen aye).
City staff presented a request to extend and expand a software license and support agreement for the city’s PeopleSoft human capital/payroll system (Arco/Oracle) for five years and to increase the maximum expenditure by approximately $4.2 million. The controller’s office said the existing system reaches a 10-year milestone in November and that a five‑year extension would save costs compared with repeated one‑year amendments.
Supervisor Tang asked about alternatives and open‑source options; staff said the system was implemented through a competitive process and that replacement would involve significant upfront customization and costs (previous implementation cited at roughly $38 million). The Budget Legislative Analyst noted the contract has been amended numerous times and recommended approval. Supervisor Peskin requested a roll call; the motion to send Item 8 to the full board with a positive recommendation passed with two ayes and one no (Tang aye; Peskin no; Cohen aye).
