Committee Meeting | Gov Ops - May 27, 2026

The Wayne County Commission Government Operations Committee met on May 27, 2026, primarily to discuss procurement and contract management related to the Oracle cloud-based Connect 43 system. The committee considered Amendment Seven to a multi-year professional services contract with Pierce Monroe and Associates, which provides staff augmentation and recruitment support for the Connect 43 implementation and ongoing operations. The amendment would extend the contract through December 31, 2027, with a focus on transitioning temporary staff to permanent county positions, filling approximately 70 targeted roles, and supporting the personnel human resources department's transformation initiatives. The discussion also covered challenges related to payroll integration, ticket management for system issues, and the complexity of time and labor rules for the Wayne County Sheriff's Office. The committee approved the amendment and received updates on the Connect 43 project status, including ongoing efforts to stabilize the system and improve resource allocation through agile methodologies. No additional public comments were made, and the meeting was adjourned following the approval of related reports.
