RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and the
Clerk of the Council to execute an agreement with Dawna Whaley for payroll
consulting services in a total amount not to exceed $120,000.
DISCUSSION
The City currently maintains contracts for its payroll and tax software
that include user licenses, upgrade maintenance, training, and program
consulting. Highline Corporation, Oracle Corporation, Vertex, Inc., and
Dawna Whaley provide the services needed to support the payroll system.
These services are vital in ensuring that payroll is processed in an
accurate and timely manner.
Ms. Whaley is the primary provider of program consulting services related
to troubleshooting, testing for software upgrades, and implementation of
payroll program changes resulting from labor negotiations. She continues
to be the only program specialist for the Highline payroll software
located in Southern California. Currently, Ms. Whaley is testing an
upgraded version of the Highline payroll software for a conversion
scheduled for Spring 2006. In addition, she will continue to provide
training to City staff and provide liaison services with Highline
Corporation and Vertex regarding any program development issues.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Information Services Strategic Plan (account
no. 109-200 - 62 91) .
