CHIEF 3.02* SunGard FinancePlus -The County completed a gap analysis and business process review

OFFICE determined that the current system can meet the County's needs, if the County
completes a full implementation of the system as designed, including re-engineering
many of the County's business processes to utilize the full functionality of the system
where appropriate and practical. Investing in the system the County already has will be
more cost effective than purchasing and implementing a new system, which would cost
hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars. The project is dependent upon a complete
project team consisting of County staff, outside technical experts, and staff from SunGard,
the provider of the County's financial systems. The Board has already taken the following
actions to build the team: 1) approved the fiscal year (FY) 2013-14 budget, which included
appropriations for the project; 2) on October 8, 2013, approved an agreement with
Anderson & Associates for technical experts and program management assistance; and 3)
on January 14, 2014, approved a shift of funding from Administration to the Auditor-
Controller's Office to provide sufficient staff resources for the project. As stated in the
memo to the Board on October 8, 2013, the final piece of putting together the project
team is an agreement for services with SunGard to provide on-site and WebEx trainings
and consultations, project management, and support. The not-to-exceed amount for
training, "Go live" services, and project management is $89,960, with travel estimated at
$9,000 and billed separately at actual costs. The estimated project ending date is July

Management Objectives (BMO) program. The 2013 Groundwater Status Report includes a
summary of hydrologic conditions for the 2013 water year groundwater conditions, results
from the water quality trend monitoring program, land subsidence data, and the 2014
BMO reports. This is the third year the BMO reports have been incorporated into the
Groundwater Status Report, as a result of amendments made to the BMO Ordinance in
2011. The BMO documents for each of the 16 sub-inventory units (SIU) describe land and
water use activities in the SIU, geology, current conditions and the management objective
as stated by SIU stakeholders. Spring and fall hydrographs for each BMO well show
groundwater levels over time in comparison to their Alert Stage. The BMO Ordinance
specifies the methodologies for BMOs (i.e., desirable groundwater conditions) and Alert
Stages when BMOs are not reached. 2013 was classified as a dry water year in the
Sacramento Valley. Groundwater levels are generally lower than in 2012, although most
wells did not see a large change in levels either up or down (mostly within a few feet)
compared to 2012. However, the number of wells reaching a BMO Alert Stage increased.
Water quality results showed no significant changes with respect to temperature, pH, or
electrical conductivity and the basin appears to be free of saline intrusion. No inelastic land
subsidence has been recorded in Butte County. The report was reviewed by the Technical
Advisory Committee on January 15th and was presented to the Water Commission on

Commission and the Board of Supervisors biannually, quarterly, or monthly as needed. On
