Numerous departments in Montgomery County are requesting a new tax and accounting system.

 

The county has been using Komtek as the primary provider for over 30 years. Human Resources Director Ben Brubaker says that Komtek has struggled to remain consistent and reliable.

 

Five different department heads spoke on the issue during today's meeting, including County Clerk Charlotte Scott Schmidt, County Financial Officer Fred Gress, and County Treasurer Nancy Clubine.

 

County Appraiser Melody Kikkert says she has reached out to Komtek and has not received any response.

 

The comissioners voted to continue the conversation during next week's meeting, with no action taken regarding a change of system.

 

Additional items of discussion at this week's meeting was an update from Emergency Management Director Rick Whitson on the Emergency Operations Plan, as well as a work session at the conclusion of the meeting regarding budgets.
