Commission approves update to multi-jurisdictional mitigation plan and schedules Tyler software policy items
Summary
The county approved updating a Mercer–Oliver multi-jurisdictional mitigation plan with vendor Nexus and agreed to place vacation/sick‑leave policy changes and Tyler Time & Attendance rollout items on the next agenda for implementation planning.
Mercer County’s Human Resources and Emergency Management director told the commission on May 7 that updating the Mercer–Oliver Multi‑Jurisdictional Mitigation Plan would reduce redundancy, streamline mitigation efforts and improve regional coordination; the board approved a contract update with vendor Nexus.
Alice Grinsteinner, HR/EM Director (participating by phone), described the mitigation plan update as a regional effort expected to produce long‑term savings and better coordination between Mercer and Oliver counties. Commissioner Casey Voigt moved to approve updating the plan with Nexus; the motion carried unanimously.
Grinsteinner also told the commission that the county’s switch to Tyler Time & Attendance will require changes to vacation and sick‑leave policies and will move payroll from a paper process to a digital workflow. The board placed the leave‑policy changes and the Tyler Time & Attendance implementation on the next agenda for further action and details.
A follow‑up timeline or contract start date was not listed in the minutes; the motion recorded in the minutes approved initiating the update with Nexus and tasked staff to return with implementation details.
