Lee County clerk and health department outline Tyler Technologies transition, two small contract additions

Circuit Clerk Amy told the meeting the county held a project kickoff with Tyler Technologies and has been conducting subject-matter meetings to map current business processes for a future system roll-out.

Amy said an amendment is needed to add two integrations that were omitted from the original contract: a one-time DigiTicket integration fee of $7,400 (for electronic traffic citations) and a one-time VINE (Victim Information and Notification Everyday) integration fee of $1,480. She emphasized these additions do not change the contract's scope and that clerk's office funds will cover the fees, saying, “This doesn't change the scope of the contract or the original contract.”

Members asked about training and transition style. Amy said Tyler staff have been shadowing clerks as subject-matter experts, recording workflows (warrants, docketing) and providing follow-up support via Zoom during the early weeks of rollout. She said periodic check-ins continue after initial training.

Stacy from the Health Department described related Tyler work: integration to pull lab drug-test results into case entries so staff and officers will no longer need to deliver results manually to the testing company. "They're gonna shorten that step for us so it automatically comes back right into our case entry," Stacy said. She also noted kiosk sign-in stations in both adult and juvenile lobbies that collect visitor contact details for officers and described a community drug-trends presentation set for April 9 at the Dixon Theater with a separate afternoon session for law enforcement and a 6 p.m. community session.

No formal contract vote appears in the transcript; Amy said the clerk's office will cover the one-time integration fees.
