Scott County Fiscal Court approved applying for a Keiko grant of $10,000 to help replace end-of-life Wi‑Fi devices in the courthouse and the attorney’s office.

County IT staff reported vendor quotes indicating a higher cost to replace all devices of a particular brand across county locations. Staff said they do not have the same brand at every site and proposed replacing the end-of-life units at the courthouse and the attorney’s office first. The larger full-system quote previously obtained totaled about $19,005.73 for 31 units; staff calculated that replacing the immediate-critical units would cost approximately $14,522.43 and that a $10,000 grant with a 20% match would leave the county to cover the balance.

The court asked whether the replacement was urgent; staff responded that the systems would need replacement eventually but that the grant opportunity made addressing the courthouse and attorney’s office immediately advantageous. The court approved the application and the standard match arrangement.

Next steps: County staff will submit the grant application and, if awarded, proceed with procurement and installation for the courthouse and attorney’s office devices.
