County moves forward on ERP replacement and proposes an additional assistant CAO role
Summary
IT staff previewed an enterprise resource planning (ERP) replacement and other modernization priorities; the CAO proposed adding an assistant county administrative officer role to strengthen legislative, communications and departmental support.
The county's information technology department highlighted large modernization projects that staff said are critical to county operations, including a planned enterprise resource planning (ERP) replacement to modernize financials, human resources and asset management.
IT staff said planned objectives for the coming fiscal year include beginning implementation of a modern probation case‑management system, evaluating board‑agenda management software, continuing improvements to the criminal justice information system data exchange hub, and executing the ERP replacement project currently in contract negotiation.
Lisa Howe and CAO Matt Pontes also presented a proposed reorganization request for the Administrative Office to add an assistant county administrative officer position (annual cost shown ~$413,985), funded from general‑fund contingencies if the board approves a change to the position allocation list. Pontes said the additional position would increase capacity for departmental oversight, legislative initiatives and countywide communications.
The board supported staff's direction to recruit and return with a proposed organizational plan and timeline for the reorganization. CAO Pontes pledged to present an informational item on organizational structure and communications plans later in the summer.
