County IT reports Windows 11 migration, server upgrades and election software server work

Lee County IT staff reported July 10 on planned Windows 11 migrations, server improvements to support GIS, and upcoming work to provision a server for new election software. Nut graf: Paul, speaking for the IT department, said the team is replacing older computers, migrating remaining Windows 10 machines to Windows 11 before Microsoft ends support, beefed up a GIS server to improve performance, and is coordinating with the county clerk on a new server needed for election software scheduled in the coming months. Details: Paul said the IT team also handled new‑hire deployments and biometric PC setup on the fourth floor, and that he is working with facilities on networking for a build‑out in the old jail. He called out staff members Jonathan Hendrickson and Travis Noll for deployment work. No formal motions or votes were recorded in connection with the IT report. Next steps: IT will continue migrations, finalize the election software server with the clerk, and support GIS and facilities network needs. Ending: The committee offered thanks to IT staff; there was no formal committee action recorded.
