Board adopts GPS and time‑and‑attendance policy for secondary roads
Summary
Supervisors approved a new GPS and time-and-attendance policy for secondary roads to track county equipment and employee clock‑ins for safety and payroll accuracy; board members pressed staff on Tyler software charges and training costs.
Tama County supervisors approved a revised GPS and time-and-attendance policy Feb. 16 that allows the county to track the location of its equipment and to record employees’ clock‑ins for payroll and accountability.
Supporters said the policy is intended for safety and equipment location: "We need to be able to know where our equipment is, where people are for safety reasons," a supervisor said during the discussion. The policy also authorizes access to location and clock-in data by the office manager and the bookkeeper for payroll purposes. Board members raised questions about training and setup charges being requested by the county’s Tyler software vendor and asked staff to press the vendor on fees before authorizing additional payments.
A motion to approve the GPS/time-and-attendance policy was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. Supervisors asked the road office to continue coordinating with IT and Tyler support and to report back if additional vendor charges remain unresolved.
