Committees remove $800,000 TEBS feasibility study from FY26 supplemental; plan FY27 review
Summary
Committee members unanimously voted to remove an $800,000 TEBS feasibility-study request from the FY26 supplemental and said TEBS's work should be considered in the TEBS FY27 budget review after a cloud/architecture assessment and detailed scope are prepared.
Committee members voted unanimously to amend the supplemental resolution by removing the $800,000 requested for a TEBS feasibility study and signaled they will consider that request through TEBS's FY27 budget process.
Chair Sales and Councilmember Lukey moved and seconded the amendment, which carried unanimously. Chair Stewart said the group was "coalescing around" splitting the TEBS request so the technology assessment could be reviewed in a fuller FY27 budget context.
Director Roper described the $800,000 as a six-month feasibility study that would pay for three business analyst contractors ($375,000) to conduct stakeholder interviews and document intake workflows, and $425,000 to fund two infrastructure engineers to assess architecture and integrations with county cloud and on-premises systems. Roper emphasized the study is a "go/no-go" analysis to determine whether the portal architecture can be scaled across the enterprise.
Committee members said they want a clear, phased plan and a total cost-of-ownership analysis before authorizing enterprise-wide expansion. Members asked TEBS to prepare a more detailed scope of work for Monday's TEBS budget discussion and to coordinate with HHS before presenting any expansion funding request.
