Summary

Commission approved spending $35,018 from county account 150.00.32.0159000 to purchase Windows 11 licenses and upgrade county computers, citing end of support and security risks for older systems.

The commission approved a one‑time expenditure of $35,018 to upgrade county computers to Windows 11 and obtain necessary software licensing. County IT staff explained several county machines are no longer supported by the vendor and that continuing to run unsupported operating systems presents security risks and compatibility problems with state systems.

Commissioners discussed whether older machines could be repurposed for non‑critical uses or wiped and repurposed for other offices, but staff said several machines could not be upgraded in place and replacement purchases were necessary. One commissioner proposed using an existing county reserve account to cover the cost; the motion directed staff to draw the funds from account 150.00.32.0159000.

A motion to approve the expenditure was seconded and passed on a voice vote.
