An IT staff member described the .gov process and the challenges towns face finding a host that will accept .gov domains because they must meet additional security standards. The staff member said hosting for a .gov domain is \"a lot more\" expensive and that finding a firm to implement the domain and email services will take time. \"You have to do it,\" the staff member said, referring to a compliance deadline the county had been informed about; the staff member added, \"finding a firm, getting it implemented\" takes time.

Committee members discussed practical steps for the migration. One member asked whether the existing website could be redirected to the new .gov domain; an IT staff member said, \"You certainly can. . . . Once you have it all set up, it's just a DNS record entry.\" Staff recommended considering Microsoft 365 for county email on the .gov domain and noted GoDaddy was used by one supervisor for hosting and redirection assistance.

The committee also flagged operational constraints: the county IT service manager has given notice and will leave, a staff member said, and replacing that position will slow the planned rollouts to the 17 towns the county supports. Staff said they have started interviewing, but the departing manager took \"two and a half years to train,\" so onboarding a new hire will be time consuming. Committee members discussed vendor lists and local firms that could assist with hosting and DNS work.

No formal action was taken; staff indicated they would provide vendor information and assistance to towns, and they described this work as a medium‑risk implementation slowed by staffing turnover and vendor selection.","Committee members discussed state .gov domain requirements, hosting and cost challenges, recommended Microsoft 365 for email, and noted the county's service manager resignation will slow rollout of .gov domains and IT services to 17 towns.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6049882,"IT committee: high ticket hours reflect database work; HR and timekeeping software in progress",38,362000,400000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3507380-9896b5670eadadb19dd3ca15de0c6ca2&start=362&end=400","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3507380-9896b5670eadadb19dd3ca15de0c6ca2/thumbnail_362000.jpg","/articles/6049882/Washington-County/New-York/IT-committee-high-ticket-hours-reflect-database-work-HR-and-timekeeping-software-in-progress","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6049882-3bc3da07f3b0d6c1874c1f6122930b59/orig.mp4?Expires=1770443531&Signature=VrISJsQvyua4xGMcj6ComBj~x6GgBWA~k~2VahAVlMptIGaXfdTQgRoN~JnWFA4tu61ws4mLAVf-mWUevXx30HC56xcXVseV1yb5LyOidJahwHokPSsJO6pCGoxM1lNT3y-3v6q-J-dQVDyPiOvGMzZs~NPxSPGDl96xIHpY~bepQrKPdbFYr9Qp-9AlRPp7oDzXESN107aezxcyrvP5Edku0Rrl-5OMAc9lkyqJ-c~tQvbGL2kCOBDHso63b76fgzCHLnzhbOBd03SW0GrWlmcG6KY5uS8neOH0deV8UsU2uPB1tNkkQ8HO6wdIv5S-4N2LPfUjDLSDGZ8YzZFraA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Washington County IT staff told the Information Technology Committee on April 22 that several high‑hour items in the county ticketing report reflect planned database and software work rather than unexplained problems.

A committee member asked about the ticketing report's high numbers, noting a line with \"89 hours\" for alternative sentencing. An IT staff member explained that the alternative sentencing group uses \"custom databases\" and that some tasks concentrate at the start of the year: \"It's the beginning of the year, and Melissa has a bunch of stuff that she does with their databases now,\" the staff member said. On personnel issues reflected in the ticketing report, staff said two active software projects are contributing to elevated hours: a new timekeeping system and a new human resources software rollout.

Committee members acknowledged the workload and thanked staff who coordinated across departments. One participant noted they had worked with \"Al and Brian and Mary\" to sort through items, and that a previously listed item no longer needed action.

No formal action was taken; staff said the elevated ticket hours stemmed from planned database maintenance and ongoing software implementations.","Committee members reviewed a ticketing report showing high hours on some items tied to custom databases; IT staff said new HR and timekeeping software projects are underway and will require personnel work.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6049887,"Committee says camera upgrade at law enforcement center finished; Whitehall site received tech support",48,216000,264000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3507380-9896b5670eadadb19dd3ca15de0c6ca2&start=216&end=264","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3507380-9896b5670eadadb19dd3ca15de0c6ca2/thumbnail_216000.jpg","/articles/6049887/Washington-County/New-York/Committee-says-camera-upgrade-at-law-enforcement-center-finished-Whitehall-site-received-tech-support","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6049887-743f59a934a10110ddcc3a0cf1ba0ef1/orig.mp4?Expires=1770443531&Signature=eMZEXsbcrqyVZiWreAxGx~wP6E0jYplz5Rk0djmyqpU8TN5oX1okUgBXH4ytgwdMlx5Sh0pTZymZ9igLAMqRBVxoCrbH94WNncXWZnlYNtnhUCEVaJYuv7UgCF2DhaXhrQ2wUylcVGUh~nQ62VREzAZYtg2ymMfZEahCUadj6ZgCDmWE-uA1~pjvPikmZpZZgFDSt9s5-PYohoHbnDZTUj5GK6jOeyyD5EfGPieeGaKVEBUf6jk3e7XICebrVOz37uj~oJqJvBM6yl0bLrygD8DMXgFF-GEU2DMSoL5sSK0Vw6emLuhukZwQi29UaJDWdeTk~BKxUryyDcgjyS0qjA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Washington County Information Technology Committee on April 22 reported completion of two projects: a multi‑year camera upgrade at the county law enforcement center and technology work at the Whitehall substation to support the sheriff's office.

The committee was told the camera upgrade had been a long‑standing effort and is now complete. Committee members also discussed Whitehall, where IT said the county \"put tech up there to support the sheriff's office.\" The staff member reported the Whitehall work \"came in just about right\" against the budget for that project.

No further questions were raised, and no formal votes were taken on the project updates. Committee members asked whether the Whitehall work had been an expansion; staff clarified it was not an expansion of the substation but deployment of technology to support sheriff's operations.

The warning matters because the message is designed to look like an official Google alert and reportedly passes common spam filters, the staff member said. \"It's a different kind of a spoof where they're saying that they have a subpoena for your information, and it comes in with all your other alerts,\" the staff member said. \"Don't click on any links . . . go to the site on your own. Log in, but avoid links and emails if you can because this has been proven to be a credential harvester.\"

The staff member said the discovery was recent and that the county cybersecurity officer may send an explanatory email to all county accounts with technical details. Committee members asked whether the county's cybersecurity posture was holding; the staff member responded that ongoing training appears to be helping: \"I think our training is doing a good job on that.\"

Committee members and staff discussed practical steps: treat suspicious messages skeptically, avoid clicking links in email, and use direct site logins instead. The staff member said they did not yet know the specific exploit technique used and had not completed a technical investigation.

The committee did not take a formal vote on the item. The cybersecurity advisory was recorded as committee business and staff committed to circulating further guidance by email.","An IT staff member told the Washington County Information Technology Committee that a new, convincing phishing email purports to be a Google subpoena and may harvest credentials; staff recommended avoiding links and will circulate details by email.","actionData","errors"]
