Commission approves one‑year extension of Windows support for ClearPond computer
Summary
To avoid immediate replacement costs, commissioners approved paying a one‑year Windows support extension (about $60–$70) to keep an older computer operating at ClearPond while staff evaluate long‑term replacement options.
The Park Commission authorized a one‑year extension of Windows support for the ClearPond computer so staff can continue on‑site data entry and delay purchasing a new machine. The motion — described by staff as a routine, low‑cost extension — was made and seconded and passed by unanimous voice vote.
Staff said the extension will cost roughly $60–$70 for an additional year of support (sourced from IT guidance quoted in the meeting). The commission approved using that amount to keep the older machine functioning at ClearPond for the 2026 season while assessing whether to permanently replace it.
Commissioners framed the vote as a short‑term cost‑avoidance measure to give staff time to evaluate needs and avoid an immediate capital outlay for a new laptop or desktop.
