Tourism office telecom and security-camera issues deferred to next meeting
Summary
Tourism staff outlined unusual monthly telecom charges, security-camera installation and a request to consolidate office phone lines; commissioners asked staff to bring the item back for the tourism board to consider at a later meeting.
Tourism director Erica told commissioners the organization is paying for two staff cell phones and an office phone line and that recent monthly bills have fluctuated since staff added a security camera and monitor to the back door after a recent carjacking. She asked whether the county could consolidate numbers or port the office number to a DID forwarder so calls could be routed to multiple staff phones.
IT staff proposed alternatives (a DID/forwarding platform or a return to a single cell-phone solution) and asked to study options. Commissioners agreed to pause action and asked staff to place the item on the tourism board agenda for follow-up.
Why it matters: telecom costs and security equipment affect recurring budgets for tourism events and public safety at recreation facilities, and the request ties into vendor billing and county IT capacity. Commissioners did not make a final decision and asked staff to return with options.
