Present: Chairperson Running-Marquardt, Vice Chairperson Scheetz and Supervisor Meisheid. Board members voting “AYE” unless otherwise noted. Chairperson Running-Marquardt called the meeting to order. Motion by Running-Marquardt, seconded by Scheetz to approve minutes of August 17 & 18, 2026 as printed. Sara Bearrows, Finance Dir., discussed proposed contracts for government financial system software with Oracle America, Inc. Moving to this software would not only benefit staff but it would also keep the user’s experience the same, just moving to the government platform. There would be a reduction in staff time while also building in some efficiencies and savings in the general fund each year of approximately $90,000. The cost to switch can be paid from capital projects. Since the software is very similar, the product would be around $350,000 with a 5% increase to renew. IT and legal staff have reviewed the contracts. Staff also sat through a demo of this software and had good feedback about the product. Board members thanked Bearrows for her explanation of the software and thinking outside of the fix that will save the county money. The Board will approve Wednesday.
