Summary

Faced with a finance‑staff vacancy and time‑and‑attendance issues, the board voted to postpone the planned Nov. 2 go‑live for new finance software to March 31, 2027, to allow staffing and training.

Town staff reported that the planned Nov. 2 go‑live for the new finance system was unlikely to be met due to a vacant finance director position and complications with time‑and‑attendance integration. The town administrator told the board she had told the vendor the town would likely not meet the November deadline and that there may be fees for a postponement.

The chair moved to postpone the finance‑software switchover to March 31, 2027, "to allow for proper staffing and training." The board seconded and voted 'Aye.' The board asked the administrator to obtain any information on delay fees from the vendor and to keep the board informed.
