Home My WebLink AboutAgenda 12-6 - Information Item - Memorandum - Land Management Central Permitting Software LMCPS Status Update 1 ORANGE COUNTY NORTH CAROLINA MEMORANDUM TO: Bonnie Hammersley, Orange County Manager Board of County Commissioners CC: Travis Myren, Orange County Deputy Manager FROM: Craig Benedict, Orange County Planning Director Jim Northup, Information Technologies Director Quintana Stewart, Health Director DATE: January 22, 2019 SUBJECT: BOCC Information Item- Land Management Central Permitting Software (LMCPS) Status/Update The purpose of this memo is to provide an update to the county commissioners and public on the `GoLive' process for LMCPS. The Land Management Central Permitting Software (LMCPS) is a system of processes and data to support the County services for land management planning projects, permits, inspections, code enforcement and licensing/registrations. This includes the departments of Planning & Inspections (divisions: Planning, Erosion Control/Stormwater, Building), Environmental Health (well/septic, restaurants), Emergency Services/Fire Marshall, Solid Waste and Tax Department (Land Records). The system integrates the county planning and permitting processes into a streamlined architecture that is managed by staff and seen from the customer perspective as one project and a one-source for direction and status. It includes all supporting activities, processes, data and interfaces to other County systems (tax and finance). The software will promote face-to-face customer service, as well as, web based communication with the overall process. The high-level system diagram (Attachment 1) is helpful in showing how the proposed system architecture interfaces with external systems to present a more cohesive view to customers. This multi-year project replaces 18 year old software and will be implemented in February with further online enhancements in coming months. The departments involved Information Technologies, Planning & Inspections, Health, Emergency Services and Tax/Land records. This project was fully funded in Fiscal Year 2016 and is currently on budget. If you have any questions please call Jim Northup 919-245-2276, Craig Benedict 919-245- 2592 or Quintana Stewart 919-245-2412. Attachments: 1. LMCPS Architecture 2. GoLive Draft Notice 3.

INCREASED RESPONSE TIMES: During these training and transitional periods, you will likely experience a delay in response and review times while staffs are learning a new software system. It will take time and practice to become proficient in this new permitting system. We encourage you to plan your construction schedules with this in mind. WHAT IF I HAVE AN EMERGENCY? If such an instance occurs, Staff will be available to respond to Life/Safety Emergencies. These instances will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. How WILL THIS NEW SYSTEM BENEFIT ME?
