County extends Workday go‑live to Oct. 26 and approves $175,000 change order

County finance and project staff told the board a change order is needed to safely transition to Workday ERP/HCM, to account for data‑conversion practices across more than 25 county departments and multiple independent special districts, and to secure on‑site Workday support during critical go‑live phases. The project lead said staff had tested core functionality and arranged top‑tier vendor support; to reduce rollout risk the board approved extending the go‑live date to Oct. 26, 2026 and increasing the implementation budget by $175,000.

Supervisor Sabatier said she was "nervous" about the October 1 target and urged leniency; the board approved the change order unanimously, 5–0, after noting that a workgroup had reviewed and recommended the change.
