Summary
Commissioners discussed switching to IDI Data (a sister company of the originally considered vendor) for background checks that will cover election workers and county hiring; pricing details noted but no formal approval recorded in the transcript.
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.
