County approves Sound Broadband service for Precinct Barn at about $99.95 monthly
Summary
The commission approved an agreement with Sound Broadband to provide internet service to the Precinct Barn; installation reportedly will be free and the board approved monthly service at $99.95.
The Brown County Commission approved a proposal to secure internet service for the Precinct Barn from Sound Broadband at a monthly cost cited in the meeting as $99.95.
Staff told commissioners that Sound Broadband would provide installation at no charge and that the ongoing monthly fee would be $99.95. The board moved and seconded the contract approval and passed the motion by voice vote with no opposition.
Why it matters: The contract will deliver internet service to a county facility used for precinct operations and events; commissioners asked who would sign the contract and were told Commissioner Chastain would sign on the county’s behalf. One commissioner said he had discussed on-site arrangements with a Sound representative.
The motion approved the proposal presented in the packet; the meeting record does not include a written copy of the contract in the transcript text, and commissioners did not read contract terms aloud at the meeting. Staff said a county commissioner (Chastain) would sign the agreement.
The board carried the motion on a voice vote and moved to the next agenda item.
