The plan allocates $4 million to County Administration to replace the current financial and human resources software eFinance with comprehensive enterprise resource planning (ERP) software. The new software will include finance, human resources, budget, purchasing, and time and attendance components. The upgrade is intended for the Board, Clerk of Courts, Tax Collector, Property Appraiser and Supervisor of Elections. The bulk of the funding was allocated for fiscal years 2024 and 2025.
The county also put $3 million in FY24 toward replacing billing software for the Utilities Department.
Other noteworthy projects in the plan include:
- $1.5 million for three fiber installation projects
- $1 million for an upgrade to airfield security and access control at the Brooksville-Tampa Bay Regional Airport
- $300,000 for building security by the Department of Public Works to upgrade its access control system, security systems, video cameras and closed-circuit television
- $227,800 to upgrade door control systems at Hernando County Detention Center
