County IT says large jail cabling project closed; tablets rollout cited
Summary
County IT reported closure of multiple projects, including a multi‑tens‑of‑thousands‑of‑dollars cabling and network upgrade at the county jail tied to a state-funded tablet program, and said staff closed more than 150 help tickets for the month.
At the Courthouse Property Committee meeting on June 17, 2025, the county’s IT director reported that several year-end technology projects were closed, including a "multi tens of thousands of dollars" cabling and network infrastructure upgrade at the county jail that the director said will support a state-funded tablet program.
The IT director said the county typically closes open purchase orders at the end of June and then begins new projects when funds are released in July. "We closed out some pretty large projects on the year, in June," the director said. He identified the jail cabling job as the last major project finished and said the work will be used for "iPads" provided for educational purposes under a state program.
The director also reported closing more than 150 IT service tickets in the month and said his team is preparing for the next round of purchases. "They make me look really good," he said, naming three staff members — Austin Defoe, Josh Wiseman and Mateo Flores — and praising their work maintaining county systems.
Committee members asked for follow-up where appropriate through normal reporting channels. The committee then approved the meeting reports by motion and voice vote.
The remarks about project closeouts and the tablet rollout occurred during the IT report portion of the agenda; no formal county policy or statute was cited in the discussion and no additional budget actions were taken during this meeting.
