Audette.

Finance Director Greg Robinett and Information Technology (IT) Director Tony Van
Boekel highlighted the Report to City Council (staff report), incorporated by reference.
Council Member Audette expressed her concerns about extending the contract when the
Oracle implementation and transition from the City of Redding's financial and personal
legacy system has encountered several unanticipated complexities, including the lack of
being able to provide the reports that she has requested, and suggested finding other legacy
administrators to assist.
In response to Council Member Audette, Greg advised Council the Request for Proposal
(RFP)proeess takes a signi�eant amount of staff from various departments to fully execute,
and is not feasible at this time with the amount of staff time and effort that has been
eontributed to this projeet thus far.
In response to Mayor Pro Tempore Resner, IT Direetor Van Boekel provided background
information relative to the original 1980's legacy system the City previously used. He
noted that it was programmed by staff through code to create the former �naneial reports
Council received previously. The current system, Oracle, is a one size fits all system, and
municipalities, like the City of Redding, contract with administrators who oversee the
implementation, troubleshooting, and software updates as needed through professional
services contracts.
