MIS reports urgent 5TB need for sheriff wearables; equipment estimate about $38,000
Summary
MIS told the Public Works committee it must add storage after allocating 5 TB to the sheriff’s wearable video system, and staff said equipment for the expansion is estimated at roughly $38,000; formal procurement and bids will appear on next month’s agenda.
County MIS staff told the Public Works committee that reallocating 5 terabytes of server storage to the sheriff’s new wearable-video system created an immediate need to expand central storage capacity. MIS reported the equipment cost to add storage is roughly $38,000 and that the department will bring formal bids and an approval request to the committee next month.
MIS described the wearable-video allocation as roughly one-quarter of the county’s available shared storage and said the sheriff’s office could not fund a cloud option. The department said the expansion will be added to the existing EMC storage system and that it will solicit required bids; staff also noted ongoing pressure on storage as other departments add data demands.
The committee treated the report as informational and did not vote; MIS will return with procurement documents and vendor quotes. County legal counsel and MIS agreed to discuss procurement thresholds and vendor-quotation requirements and return with guidance.
MIS also reported on staffing: the recently hired IT assistant accepted a full-time position before starting; MIS has re‑advertised the position.
