Council authorizes clerk-treasurer training contract after staff cite Keystone system struggles
Summary
Clerk-treasurer Carmen asked for targeted training for her office on the Keystone accounting system; council authorized contracting Local Government Services for training and support not to exceed $3,600 per month (5-0).
The clerk-treasurer told the council the office needs hands-on Keystone training for multiple staff members after limited earlier training from the contractor handling reconciliations.
Staff proposed hiring Local Government Services (trainers with municipal clerk-treasurer experience) at a reported rate of $180 per hour; Carmen said the training would be for her entire office, not only the clerk position. As she said in the meeting, "They are at a $180 an hour." Council members debated scope, hours, and whether Stone Municipal Group's supplemental portion could be reallocated.
Following discussion about timeframes and deliverables, the council authorized signing a services contract for training in an amount not to exceed $3,600 per month to begin work and required staff to provide a supplemental agreement with clear scope and timing for council review.
