The DeKalb County Operations Committee voted to approve a series of procurement actions covering information-technology hardware and services, facilities work, airport lighting and public-safety equipment, then forwarded those items for placement on the board agenda.

Key actions approved by the committee (motion and voice votes recorded at the meeting):
- Dell end-user computing contract increase (Item 1501): The committee approved increasing funds for the county's Dell contract for laptops and peripherals for county staff, with a planned maximum increase to cover annual replacements and grant-funded devices.
- Systems maintenance and mobile capabilities for permitting (Item 1503): The committee extended a maintenance agreement to support mobile permitting and code-enforcement field access.
- Uninterruptible Power Supply services (Item 1421): Facilities Management was authorized to extend a contract for UPS maintenance at county facilities.
- Network professional services renewal and assignment (Item 1615): The committee authorized exercising the final renewal option for enterprise network managed services and consented to an assignment from Layer 3 Communications to MGT Impact Solutions.
- Voter-equipment transport (Item 1620): Voter Registration and Elections received approval to extend a contract for truck services used to deliver election equipment and supplies for the 2025 cycle.
- Airfield lighting upgrade term extension (Item 1617): The committee extended the contract term for LED airfield lighting work at DeKalb-Peachtree Airport (PDK).
- CityWorks asset-management implementation and public AMS work (Items 1494 and 1544): The committee extended two related CityWorks implementation contracts used by Public Works and Facilities to continue asset-management deployment.
- State Court Division B build-out (Item 1497): Facilities Management received approval to increase contract funds for construction work to support State Court Division B at 4,572 Memorial Drive.
- 311 modernization (Item 1504): The committee authorized additional implementation funds and a term extension for the county's 311 citizen-access modernization work to build a web access portal and related foundational work.
- Mobile fire training trailer (Item 1499): The committee approved purchase of a mobile fire-training trailer for Fire Rescue Services via the GSA cooperative purchasing program.

Several presenters described the operational need for the approvals. Deputy director David Asbell said the State Court Division B work will improve security and access for judges, and Director Keisha Smith of Voter Registration and Elections told commissioners the extension for election-transport trucks was necessary to support as many as eight elections in 2025, including statewide special elections. Chief operating officer Zach Williams and IT staff explained that Dell renewals and the CityWorks and 311 investments are part of ongoing modernization and replacements.

Each item that was ready from audit and staff review was taken up and approved by the committee. A small set of agenda items (contract 1289, 0902 and 1428) remained pending audit and were not acted on at the meeting.
