Pondera County tables phone-system upgrade after vendor ends maintenance
Summary
Commissioners discussed replacing a failing phone system after voicemail was lost and the current vendor ended maintenance; the discussion was tabled pending answers to outstanding questions and vendor selection details.
Pondera County commissioners discussed replacing the county’s failing phone system but agreed to table action after learning the current vendor will no longer provide maintenance and voicemail data is unrecoverable.
Commissioner 2 reported that the county’s phone system “is not functioning. Voice mail's gone and is not recoverable,” and that the vendor that previously provided maintenance would no longer do so. “3 Rivers is no longer going to… supply maintenance,” Commissioner 2 said.
Commissioner 2 said the county has narrowed vendor choices for a replacement but still needs answers to several outstanding questions before proceeding. “So we will be looking for a new one. We've got it narrowed down, and now we just have to figure out a few details,” Commissioner 2 said.
The commission agreed to table formal action on the phone-system upgrade until those questions are answered; no contract award or formal vote was recorded in the transcript on July 9.
The item will be revisited once staff return with the additional details the commission requested.
