COUNTY ASSESSOR - DISCUSSION REGARDING COMPUTER PROGRAM - County Assessor Kristi Wold stated she would like to replace the Terra Scan program. She expressed concern about the cost and that the county is out of a lot of revenue because it is not being updated. It is not doing what is needed for a county of this size. She is looking a different programs MIPS and Vanguard. The cost for the conversion would be under$30,000.00 and that would be less than Terra Scan. The new program also has an appraisal program with it and that would save contracting the appraisal services out. The MIPS program would be $2,300.00 a month. They need to look a new program because of the dollars. Lancaster questioned what the program is not doing and Kristi stated the costing tables are nor right it uses the 2004 information and it affects the market numbers. We are spending more money that what they provide for services. She has worked with MIPS and the looked at the Vanguard program. County Treasurer Peg Pesek expressed concern that this will affect her office and she has an issue that there was not communication regarding changing software. She only saw it on the board agenda. They have been on the program since 1999 and they are working on the T2 program. She contacted Sarpy County and they are using the new T2 software. Peg agrees that the program is old but they need to have a system that will work with her office. She expressed concern that Kristi has already met with Van Gard and the treasurer was not included they have to work together. She would like to go to the T2 program. She current pays 8 or 9 thousand a year for the Terra Scan. It is important to check with her office regarding new software. Arnold noted that no decision have been made they need to work with the computer committee. If it is not updated that would need to be addressed. A new program would affect all offices. Bredthauer questioned how the value could be at a 2004 value. Kristi stated some of the new house values were too low. Quandt questioned why the system is so old. Peg stated that Terra Scan has the new T2 program and we need to have it updated but it is a good workable system.
