County approves $21,740 VIS Digital contract to replace end‑of‑life courtroom hardware
Summary
White County commissioners approved a $21,740 purchase from VIS Digital to replace end‑of‑life courtroom equipment that supports virtual hearings; county staff said funds were available in this year’s budget and the purchase reduces next year’s budget pressure.
County IT and court staff told the commissioners that audiovisual equipment used in Superior and Circuit Courtrooms — installed during the COVID period — is at end‑of‑life and no longer supported by the manufacturer. County staff recommended purchasing replacement units from VIS Digital now rather than budgeting the expense next year.
Mike (county staff) said the total purchase is $21,740 and that money is available in the current budget. Commissioners voted to accept the contract and proceed with the purchase. The transcript records a motion, a second and a voice vote in favor.
Why it matters
The upgrade supports continued remote/Zoom hearings and preserves service continuity for court users. Commissioners noted they preferred a one‑year service/contract term to allow timely review rather than a longer multi‑year commitment.
Ending
Staff will finalize the contract and schedule installation so the courtrooms remain supported for remote proceedings.
