Utility Billing Online Bill Presentment and Payment …and Credit Cards Too!

Date Posted: 07/26/11

The first of several Infinity.Link implementation kick-off meetings was held the end of May. The cities of Apple Valley, Minnetonka, and Robbinsdale were invited to a LOGIS hosted demo of Infinity.Link. Each city received a detailed packet of screen prints of Infinity.Link to determine their layout specifications, along with merchant account information and samples of privacy statements, FAQ’s, and terms of use documents. An implementation calendar was provided outlining each phase of the rollout from site configuration, testing, soft rollout to city employees to a progressive rollout to all residents by cycle. From start to finish, the implementation timeline will take approximately 12 weeks to complete. The most recent implementation kickoff meeting was held on July 6^th for the cities of St Louis Park and Woodbury.

On July 12^th, 2011, a Credit Card implementation kick-off meeting was held for the cities of Brooklyn Center and Eagan. The Credit Card calendar is similar in nature to the Infinity.Link calendar, but will require less testing time.

New PIMS Version Release

Date Posted: 07/25/11

We have recently completed the testing phase of the current version of PIMS. Over the last several months, the PIMS application has undergone numerous programming changes which required many hours of quality assurance to ensure accuracy. Various requests came from the PIMS user group meeting in March 2011, and other requests were derived from our PIMS enhancement list.

The new Septic module is now available (beta version) with this new release. We have also added County website links to the menu, as well as a Department of Labor and Industry link and a Lead EPA link to expedite inquiries.

We need to distribute this version in stages (a few cities at a time) due to the complexity of the upgrade. Currently, we have released the new PIMS version to 6 cities. We are in the process of scheduling the next 16 cities in the upcoming weeks.

LOGIS Hosts Assessors Meeting

Date Posted: 07/25/11

On June 14^th, LOGIS hosted a meeting for the six Assessing Cities who are using the Property Data System (PDS). These meetings are a useful communications tool between LOGIS PDS support staff and the member cities. In a previous meeting the need to track personal property was raised. Personal property is property owned by an individual or business which is not affixed to or associated with the land (real property). In other words, personal property is movable while real property is not. Programming staff developed a working module with most of the functionality of the Real Property module. The personal property enhancement was demo’d to the group for their feedback. With a few minor changes and testing, this enhancement should be available to the Assessors in the next version release.
