The Murray County Commissioners met in regular season on Tuesday, May 1st.
Staff members involved with software used from Mid State Computer Collaborative met with representatives from the company. The company provides software for a number of departments for Murray County. Most recently Aurora Heard and Rhonda Radke shared their concerns with regards to the software for the HR department stating they had put in requests and felt the company hadn’t done to fulfill their needs. Amongst them was providing online job applications as well as complications with a couple of areas. Heard has looked at other HR packages, however, with the rest of the departments using CPUI, the interfacing would take a patch of some sort or have to be manually imputed. Heidi Winter, auditor/treasurer was concerned not using CPUI as she doesn’t want to go backwards. “We already have software that works.” Heard was a little concerned signing a three year agreement without some reassurance CPUI that they can offer some of the features she was looking to add in the HR software. Chad Swanson was open to adding enhancements to the current HR software. With this in mind, the Board approved and signed the Joint Powers Agreement with Mid State Computer Collaborative and Computer Professionals Unlimited, Inc.
Howard Konkol provided his ditch inspection report which included findings for CD 57. He said there is a large blowout hole measuring 4 foot x 5 foot x 5 foot deep, located approximately 800 feet west of Highway 59 centerline and 150 feet north of the half section line. He also inspected JD 14 to determine if JD 14 Branch M is on the west side of State Highway 91 in Chanarambie Township. He didn’t find a tile line in the area, however the County’s interactive mapping shows a tile line present. He recommended the tile line be located and camera used to verify the location and condition by entering the tile on the east side of Highway 91. Also inspected was CD 86 which discovered a large area of water standing on both sides of the road and the county’s tile intake under water on the north side of the road. Konkol recommended using the camera to see what condition the tile line is in and whether it is plugged by tree roots or was broken by the utility company. He also reported the findings for CD 86 which included a tile blowout hole measuring 2’x3’x3’ deep located in the north ditch approximately 30’ north of 231st Street centerline.
