Sheboygan County finance director cites software transition, previews preliminary 2027 budget assumptions
Summary
At a May 13, 2026 meeting, Finance Director James Webb told the Sheboygan County Finance Committee that Tyler Munis system transitions have prompted billing reconciliation and operational support work; Webb also outlined preliminary assumptions for the 2027 budget and said first-quarter 2026 financial statements will be presented at the next meeting.
On May 13, 2026, the Sheboygan County Finance Committee heard a departmental update from Finance Director James Webb on ongoing reconciliation work tied to recent software transitions and on early planning for the 2027 budget.
Webb, the county finance director, told the committee Finance Department staff have been providing operational support to the Highway Department and performing billing reconciliation related to recent Tyler Munis system changes. He said staff are completing the 2025 year-end financial close and preparing for the upcoming audit. Webb also outlined preliminary assumptions for the 2027 budget, including consideration of levy limits, employee benefit projections, debt-service impacts and reserve estimates, and described development of a five‑year capital plan. He said governance and workflow coordination involving Finance, Information Technology and Human Resources around the Tyler Munis system are ongoing. Webb said the committee can expect the first-quarter 2026 financial statements at the next meeting.
Committee members raised the operational impact of the system transition on the Transportation Department, where billing delays and invoice-reconciliation work have affected communications with municipalities and service operations. The discussion identified several contributing factors cited by staff: the software transition itself, recent staffing changes, and the need for additional invoice reconciliation work. No remedial schedule or formal directive was recorded in the minutes; the committee received the report and continued related oversight work.
The committee did not take formal policy action on the budget assumptions at the May 13 meeting; Webb’s presentation was provided as part of regular departmental reporting and to orient the committee to upcoming materials it will evaluate in future meetings. The finance office will return with first-quarter financial statements and further budget detail at the committee’s next scheduled meeting.
