County budgets $287,000 for new Edmunds financial software, implementation planned for July
Summary
Assistant County Administrator Ann Marie Ricardi said contracts are in negotiation for Edmunds and Avenity financial systems; Edmunds implementation is expected to begin around July 1 and cost $287,000 in year-one budgeted funds.
Ann Marie Ricardi told the Board the county is negotiating contracts with two vendors and expects to begin implementing the Edmunds financial software around July 1, with Avenity to follow next year. She said the implementation phase is expected to last six to twelve months and that the $287,000 included in the budget covers the first implementation costs.
Ricardi framed the multi-vendor approach as a staged deployment to spread implementation workload and noted staff are working through contract negotiations. Board members asked about timelines and potential operational disruption; Ricardi and the county administrator said staff would return with further implementation details as contracts are finalized.
