STEERING COMMITTEE UPDATE ON ERP 03-05-14

Marni Penrod, Deputy County Clerk, along with members of the Steering Committee, gave an update to the Board on the status of the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Financial and Human Resource Business System. The committee chose SunGard’s OneSolution ERP software to move Douglas County to GAAP accounting compliance, integrate payroll and improve departments’ access to data. The committee plans for Douglas County to go live on the new system January 2015.

Thellman opened the item for public comment. No comment was received.

No action was taken.

MAINTENANCE 03-05-14

Bill Bell, Director of Maintenance, asked the Board to consider replacing ceiling grids and tiles in the Judicial and Law Enforcement Center as part of the paint and carpet replacement in the Sheriff’s office. The current tiles have been in place since 1976 and are expensive to replace because the tiles are not a standard size. All other areas of the building that have undergone remodeling have had the grids and tiles replaced to standard size.

After discussion, Thellman opened the item for public comment. No comment was received.

Flory moved to direct staff to solicit bids to replace all ceiling grids and tiles to meet a standard size throughout the Judicial and Law Enforcement Building. Motion was seconded by Gaughan and carried 3-0.
