SUBJECT:
Staff Update
DISCUSSION:
We had 2,698 credit card payment transactions in December, compared to 2,550 in November.
The fee for December should be $6,070.50.
An update on the software conversion:
• Process Training was held the week of January 5th through the 9th. This was a
hands-on training in the new software specific to processes such as billing,bank
processing, readings, delinquents, etc.
• There is still much to be done in preparation for the go-live week on NISC's side
and we are told that all will be fine.
• NISC will also be onsite for the go-live week the first week in February.
We will be interviewing for the Purchasing Specialist position the third week in January. With
the holidays we were not able to schedule this in December.
On December 29th and 30th we conducted our year end physical inventory counts for the water
and electric departments. Truck inventories were done on the 29th and the shop was done on the
30th. The weather was very cold these days so we had lots of willing helpers to be inside
counting versus out in the elements.
The auditors were here Monday, December 15th for preliminary work and all went well. They
will return February 26th and 27th for final fieldwork.
