Municipalities are hungry to better meet their residents’ needs and to improve residents’ experience of their local governments. They need a solution to manage the laundry list of responsibilities they are tasked with. Everything from maintaining roads and sidewalks, hauling garbage, collecting hazardous household waste, and managing public buildings, to handling local finances, managing taxes and utility billing, and on top of that, they need to manage all their employee and their benefits to make sure all the jobs get done. We know that’s a lot to manage!

Park Districts
Meeting the demanding needs of a Park District can be a complicated challenge these days. Park administrators are tasked with a lot of responsibilities. Everything from managing multiple facilities and locations, each with a different set of employees who have different roles, responsibilities, and hours, to creating effective programs and events for your community. That can be a lot to manage and it’s important to have the right software to handle those demanding needs.

Realizing that software is not ‘one size fits all’, we offer a variety of suites tailored to maximize your park organization’s efficiency.
Disabilities / Special Needs Boards
People with disabilities, like the rest of us, want to discover their own unique abilities. All of us are different. We learn, grow and achieve at various rates; but along with those differences we have many things in common. We all have hopes & dreams, likes & dislikes and we all live in this community.
To better support their communities, many municipalities rely on their Disability and Special Needs Boards (DSN Board) to manage all aspects of their communities DSN needs. This includes managing the various programs that DNS boards support as well as all the finances, workforce, employees and benefits to maintain those programs.
Managing everything from residential programs, vocational programs, and adult activity centers to early intervention, respite, companion, and service coordination means that DSN board need robust and easy to use software to manage the various aspects of both their direct and indirect programs. Harris Local Government has worked directly with DSN Boards across South Carolina to provide tailored software solutions for their specific DSN Boards needs. Our financial management and fund accounting solutions allow DSN Board to keep careful track of their financial goals and needs while our Payroll and HR solutions allows management of employees benefits, payroll, the hiring processes for multiple locations/programs.
