Freestone County commissioners discussed contracting with IDI Data to provide background checks for election workers and county hiring after the county’s initially considered vendor could not process election-worker checks. The presiding official said IDI Data "will work for us, for our election workers, and for our hiring process within our county policy."
Meeting remarks described pricing as a flat $75 per month if the county conducts no more than 250 transactions per month, and an additional $125 per seat for a computer that will run checks in the judge's office. A commissioner asked whether "users" and "seats" were separate; the presiding official clarified the checks would run from one computer in the judge's office. A motion to approve entering into an agreement with IDI Data was suggested during the meeting, but the transcript does not record a motion being moved, seconded, or voted on for that item.
