County manager briefs commissioners on server-room issues, manager recruitment and upcoming budget workshop
Summary
The county manager reported Triadic server problems linked to a poorly cooled server closet, recommended moving the server to the probate office or adding cooling, announced a budget workshop on April 14, and summarized county manager recruitment and other administrative updates.
The Colfax County manager told the Board of Commissioners the newly installed Triadic server is experiencing problems that prevented generation of some routine reports and that the current server closet — located near the assessor’s office — lacks cooling and has dust concerns. The manager said Triadic recommended either installing a separate air-conditioning unit or relocating the server to the probate office, and IT and maintenance staff agreed a move to the probate office would ease cooling and dust control and make a floor-level AC installation simpler.
The manager said staff will show commissioners the server-room layout and pursue the relocation option, if practicable. He also announced a county budget workshop for department heads on April 14 at noon in the commission chambers; department heads will receive their budget materials in advance and the session will be recorded for those unable to attend.
The manager reported the county has received roughly five applications to date for the county manager position and will post recruitment advertising in the Albuquerque Journal and through national county associations. He said the county received unexpected state radio-system funding (the exact dollar figure was discussed but remained under review in the record) and that staff are working on a proposed lease with the Alice Moore Ranch for use of a low-water crossing easement.
Ending: The manager asked commissioners how long to leave the county manager recruitment open and recommended a soft handover process for the incoming manager to minimize operational disruption; commissioners asked for copies of applications and requested photo and condition assessments for bridges following a recent site tour.
