New Year and New Citation Numbering

Date Posted: 01/26/12

There were several electronic citation changes that took place at the New Year. All electronic citations were required to have 12 digits by the State Courts. Additionally, fine schedules that were printed on the violator copy have been replaced by mandated language on violator rights and obligations. In place of the fine schedule are a phone number and a web site for the violator to use to determine the fine for their violation. Updates were pushed out to all squads at midnight on January 1, 2012.

LOGIS created and provides an Electronic Citation Report which is a reproduction of the ticket from the data exported from the citation. Many agencies receive this, alleviating the need to print a second citation. Most courts also get the report from LOGIS to assist in their business needs.

Property Data System Modified for New Homestead Market Value Exclusion

Date Posted: 01/26/12

The 2011 Legislature repealed the homestead residential Market Value Credit (the agricultural credit did not change), and enacted a similarly designed homestead Market Value Exclusion. This change is effective for taxes payable in 2012.

Program changes have been completed to accommodate the new way of calculating Taxable Market Value. This year instead of giving a Homestead Market Value Credit, a Homestead Market Value Exclusion will be applied to the Market Value for home owners to reduce the Taxable Market Value. Validation of program changes is near completion and a new version will be released in the near future.

Utility Billing — Bill Print Outsourcing

Date Posted: 01/26/12

The cities are on their way to completing the bill print outsourcing project in 2012. LOGIS will no longer be printing the utility bills for our member cities and the cities have been searching and making selections for mailing vendors to print their bills from an electronic file. Currently, five cities are sending “live” electronic files to their mailing vendors.

A group was formed several months ago consisting of ten LOGIS cities that combined their resources in a mailing vendor search. The group prepared an RFQ, reviewed responses, and held a meeting with the vendors. After narrowing the search to three vendors, the group made site visits to each company. After research, cost evaluation, and vendor assessments, the group selected Impact Proven Solutions. Implementations will begin in January and the entire project will be completed by 2^nd quarter 2012.
