MOTION: FOR LASALLE COUNTY TO PROCEED TO OBTAIN WEIGHT SCALES At their May 26, 2010 Meeting the Highway Committee moved to send a letter to the full County Board in support of the implementation of a weight enforcement unit and purchase of portable scales for use by the Sheriff’s Department. Mr. Larry Kinzer, LaSalle County Engineer was present to answer questions from the board. Motion by Mr. Jakupcak in support of the letter, second by Mr. McLaughlin. Chairman Hicks announced that the subject is open for discussion. Mr. Boe inquired why this subject was being brought to the board and if the purchase was under the $20,000.00 limit set for board approval. Mr. McLaughlin said the price of the scale is $12,000.00. Mr. Kinzer stated that the money was not in his budget for this year for new equipment. He also stated that the Highway Department is not an enforcement agency; the Sheriff’s Department would enforce the weight limits. Mr. Jakupcak informed the board that the Sheriff requested that scales be purchased to enforce the weight limits in the county.

CITIZEN COMMENT Mr. Chris Korsgard, a partner with Sikich, informed the board that they are the consulting firm that was hired by the county to implement the accounting system Microsoft Dynamics Great Plains in 2006. He explained the reason that he is here tonight to bring attention to a few key points in the report from RSM McGladrey. The general perception seems to be that Sikich has been struggling for 4 years to implement the Microsoft Dynamics Great Plains solution at LaSalle County due to shortcomings in the software or the quality of services provided by Sikich. He explained that the reality is that the County was responsible for providing two significant deliverables to Sikich within three months of the project kickoff in February 2006 in order for the project to progress on time, within budget and according to the original project plan. He also stated the project started off on good foot, however by March and April they were at a stand still. In May and June they received a little information from the county. But for all intense and purposes for the next four years Sikich had pretty much no involvement in this project, waiting for a chart of accounts. It took 3 years to complete the chart of accounts. In January of 2009 the chart of accounts was completed. They put a plan together to move forward with the project; however the project was put on hold in March 2009. At that time they were informed that RSM McGladrey was hired to review the implementation. Mr. Korsgard stated that the RSM McGladrey report does not conclude that the Microsoft Dynamics GP is a bad fit for the county. The report states that the software will work for LaSalle County. Mr. Korsgard read an excerpt from Sikich Professional Services Agreement with LaSalle County for the Inplementation of MS Dynamics GP Executed on January 23, 2006: Client responsibilities: 3. LC acknowledges that its cooperation is necessary for the timely implementation of the Project including, but not limited to, providing ICS with the following: Timely and accurate information Timely access to appropriate LC personnel, equipment, systems and software

LaSalle County Board Minutes – June 14, 2010 Timely feedback to testing and proofing requests Qualified LC personnel for training and for acceptance testing Timely payment of LC invoices He stated that these responsibilities were not met by LaSalle County. SEE RECORD BOOK 187, PAGE 20-26

RESOLUTION: (#10-83) TERMINATION OF CONTRACT WITH ICS ADVANTAGE, LLC (A/K/A SIKICH) A resolution was submitted recommending termination of the agreement with ICS Advantage, LLC a/k/a Sikich previously approved on January 12, 2006 and executed January 23, 2006 and direct the County Attorney to provide written notice of termination pursuant to the terms of the contract. Motion by Mr. Dittmer to approve the resolution, second by Mr. Savitch. Mr. Freeman inquired how the price increased from $214,000.00 to over $450,000.00. Mr. Rigby explained that if the Chart of Accounts was finished in the time line schedule, they wouldn’t be discussing this at this time. We would know if the system would work or not. The chart of accounts had to be changed to accommodate any new software and it was not finished by the auditor until beginning of 2009. Chairman Hicks stated that initially all the offices that would be using the program should have been consulted and more research should have been done before we purchased the program. He also stated that they needed more expertise to get the system up and running so they purchased three more attachments for the program. In a letter submitted by Steve Abel, Chairman of the IT, Central Services and Printing Committee stated his views on the termination of this contract with Sikich. He stated that Sikich gave them a proposal to complete the project for $50,000.00 with the stipulation that the county hire an outside project manager to over see the implementation of the software. The estimated cost of the project manager is $20,000.00 to $30,000.00. He also stated that the cost to start over and purchase new software is $250,000.00 to $300,000.00. He feels that they (LaSalle County) should attempt to negotiate a revised contract with Sikich with the involvement of Microsoft and attempt to find an independent Project Manager familiar with the Great Plains software. If

LaSalle County Board Minutes – June 14, 2010 possible, the contract should contain specific timelines; pay schedules tied to the successful completion of these timelines with opt out provision if the Project Manager determines that either party is delaying the implementation of the software. Mr. Carlson, after a lengthy commentary stated that we work by committee and indicated that he would like to see this go back to committee. Then have the committee study the 4 options and then bring it back before the board. Mr. Rigby read from the minutes January 12: Mr. Myers stated that this is going to impact the Auditor’s and the Treasurer’s Office who where both at the meeting. He asked both departments if their technical questions where answered to their satisfaction and he received a yes from both departments. Mr. Rigby stated Mr. Myers was pleased the technical questions were answered, so the committee moved forward with the purchase of the software. Mr. Savitch indicated that he had inquired to those involved with payroll and human resources as to whether or not they felt the software would work. He stated there would be problems with payroll. Mr. Boe questioned asked when will the bleeding stop? We are still fighting over money. Something’s wrong. It is time to call for the vote on the resolution. Mr. Boe made the motion to call for the question. Mr. Leininger stated Mr. Boe cannot call for the question during discussion. Mr. Leininger called for the question. Mr. Ganiere stated the person who called for point of order cannot call for the question. Ms. Znaniecki called for the question, second by Mr. Jordan. Chairman Hicks called for a roll call vote; 12 ayes, 13 nays and 3 absent. Motion failed. Chairman Hicks announced that the discussion on the termination of the contract with Sikich will continue. Mr. Ganiere stated that RMS McGladrey was hired to do an analysis of the Great Plains Software System. RMS McGladrey interviewed the employees that would be using the program, about their needs and then they evaluated the software based on those interviews and that it would work very well for the county and they also suggested another option the Sage Program. But they felt the Great Plains program was a better fit for the county, especially in the payroll department rather than the Sage Program. He informed the board that RMS McGladrey could get the software up and running for $212,000.00 or they could purchase the Sage Program

LaSalle County Board Minutes – June 14, 2010 for $247,000.00. He feels it would be fiscally responsible for the county to stay with Sikich and get the software up and running. Chairman Hicks said he never heard RSM McGladrey say that this system would work very well for the county. Mr. Ganiere replied that he was based his opinion on the report and he felt the program would work well for the county. Ms. Wilkinson addressed the board about the Great Plains Software Program. She stated that she was against this purchase from day one because they couldn’t go and see how the program actually worked. She also stated that there is no county in Illinois using this program. ICS Advantage, LLC only gave LaSalle County one reference and it was out of state. She stated that was a red flag. She also stated that they did everything they could to get this project going and the program just wouldn’t work. Ms. Billard inquired to Mr. Korsgard if they would be willing to waive the fee for a year to get us up to speed. He indicated that he could not answer the question. Mr. Carlson stated that he would like to be appointed to the opening on IT, Central Service & Printing Committee; he feels in a month we could have a set of alternatives to bring back to the full board. Chairman Hicks thanked him for his offer. Chairman Hicks called for a roll call vote; 15 ayes, 10 nays and 3 absent. Motion carried. SEE RECORD BOOK 187, PAGE 27-31
