The Iredell County Board of Commissioners approved, by consent, a three-year contract for a new data circuit at the Winston Avenue property and a three-year upgrade to the Parks & Recreation Spectrum circuit, increasing bandwidth from 20 Mbps to 100 Mbps.
Joey Holz of Information Technology Services presented both items. On the Winston Avenue site he said the three-year term saves roughly $125 per month versus the prior arrangement. On Parks and Recreation, Holz described operational problems: "We're at a position now to where if two people in that department try to get on a Teams call at the same time, they get kicked out," he said. The bandwidth increase is intended to support Teams calls and additional camera traffic.
Both items were approved on the consent agenda; no roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.
IT staff did not identify vendor names in the presentation; the contract terms were limited to the three-year duration and the stated monthly savings and bandwidth improvement.
