Portal Billing Component Project will build online payments of OC CUPA and PA fees within the Regional Portal Portal Functionality Project will enhance the user's (business, reviewer, and administrator) operations of the Portal (e.g. tabs, EPCRA compliance) PA Inspection and Enforcement Module Project will build a module to help PA's track specific inspection and violation data. Data will be moved from the Portal to EnvisionConnect on a set schedule. Expansion of the PA Billing Module for OC CUPA Billing Use The PA billing module was build prior to AB2286 grant funding. The expansion of this module for OC CUPA staff will streamline business status/address changes and eliminate the need for paper updates. OC CUPA Staffing for Portal Implementation The OC CUPA Portal Implementation team coordinates1) PA connections which include review of initial data, training, and establishment of username/passwords, 2) OC CUPA professional staff reviewer training, 3) business training, 4) overall Portal functionality, and 4) general project management tasks. The team meets with the Agency IT and vendor staff on a weekly conference call, conducts bimonthly meetings with the PAs (E-Reporting Committee), and addresses all of the database contracting and grant administration responsibilities. Staffing for ongoing Portal operational tasks associated with username/password requests, form review, Portal, coordination between the CUPA and PAs, and other general Portal management activities will be evaluated and compared with the reduction in staff resources associated with the current billing and form operations when considering the adjustment of programs fees. OCFA (PA) Portal Connection Since OCFA is a large PA (22 cities vs. 1 for the other PAs) the connection cost to the Regional Portal was greater than the $20,000 allotted by the AB2286 grant. The OC CUPA will cover the $25,000 difference. PA Connections to the Portal Page 9 of 12 20A-23
