Mayor requests special meeting to approve payroll vendor after staff presentation on costs
Summary
Mayor Bryan Jensen requested a special meeting to pass payroll-vendor legislation after Finance Director Steve Presley summarized vendor cost estimates ranging from about $30,000 annually to quotes near $122,000; Presley recommended a $30,000 integration option tied to the City's timekeeping system.
Mayor Bryan Jensen told Council on April 13 that the City is exploring payroll service options and requested a Special Meeting next week to act on legislation to retain a payroll vendor. Finance Director Steve Presley provided cost comparisons and a recommendation during his comments.
Presley said the preferred payroll solution would integrate with the City's timekeeping system at approximately $30,000 annually, compared with quotes as high as $122,000 for bundled services the City does not require. He recommended proceeding quickly to run three to four duplicate payrolls before going live to ensure a smooth transition.
Mayor Jensen requested the Special Meeting to approve the vendor and implementation steps; Council did not record a vote on a specific vendor that night. Presley indicated further discussion would occur at the next Monday meeting and recommended prompt action to avoid payroll disruptions.
