Resolution Authorizing the Acquisition of a Learning Management System from TalentLMS

Resolved by the Board of Supervisors of Sauk County, Wisconsin:

BACKGROUND: Sauk County currently employs roughly 700 employees, plus contractors and elected officials.  Providing comprehensive, consistent, and compliant training for this staff is a continuing challenge. A Learning Management System (LMS) provides a software platform that can deliver training courses to staff electronically.  This ensures all staff receive the required training in a timely manner while providing the necessary management and regulatory compliance records. Additionally, this will help support the County in a new initiative to increase employee recruitment and retention (a top priority of the County Board based on 2023 survey results).

During the latter half of 2023, Sauk County reviewed numerous LMS options.  The field of options was reduced to three specific vendors and, following demonstrations of each, it was determined that the system from TalentLMS best met the specific requirements of Sauk County.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Sauk County Board of Supervisors, that the acquisition of licensing for TalentLMS at an annual cost of $14,970 be hereby approved; and,

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Sauk County MIS Director is delegated the authority to enter into any agreements related to the purchase of said system on behalf of Sauk County. 

Approved for presentation to the County Board by the Sauk County Personnel and Executive and Legislative Committees, this 20^th day of February, 2024.
