Summary

The committee approved contract amendments with Tyler Technologies and Mission Critical Partners, heard about a CivicPlus Doc Access tool to improve PDF accessibility, and discussed ERP payroll parallel runs and capital asset completion delays tied to auditor engagement.

Committee members approved three IT-related items: an amendment to the Tyler Technologies contract to support biometric time clocks, adoption of a CivicPlus Doc Access plugin to convert PDFs into screen-reader-friendly HTML, and a continuation of consulting services with Mission Critical Partners to maintain the integration hub (Boomi) between county systems.

IT director Nelson described the Tyler change as a swap from on-site to remote time with a $75 net difference for biometric clock swapping. On accessibility, staff said the Doc Access plug-in automates PDF-to-HTML conversion to help reach compliance and anticipated making it a recurring cost. On the larger systems work, the contractor Mission Critical Partners continues building data mappings and interfaces between police, jail and court systems; delays in some modules were acknowledged.

ERP rollout status: Staff reported the county finance system went live in February (nicknamed "McFred") and that the go-live requires ongoing cleanup. The county ran parallel payrolls to validate results and found multiple approvals waiting for the county auditor’s sign-off. Project managers are coordinating with the auditor and the vendor to finish capital assets and outstanding approvals.

Why it matters: The integration hub is central to county record systems and will remain a persistent operating cost to preserve modularity across future system replacements; accessibility work affects public access to county documents; payroll and capital asset cleanup have direct audit implications.

What’s next: Staff said they will continue coordination with the auditor and vendor, plan additional parallel payroll tests, and expect accessibility improvements to be reflected in routine reporting to the committee.
