Council committee approves Zoom licensing for virtual court project; public asked for clarity on 'virtual court' language
The Summit County Finance committee on Nov. 4 approved a one-year purchase of Zoom licenses through CDWG under the Omnia Cooperative Pricing Program to support the virtual-court project and county operations. Stephen Byrne of the Office of Information Technology said the purchase covers room licenses and other licensing needed for virtual courtrooms; the requested total in committee materials was not to exceed $123,504 for the 12-month term running Nov. 24, 2025 through Nov. 23, 2026.

Earlier in the meeting during public comment, a resident asked the council to clarify "what does this court project consist of?" and called the budget line "very vague language" — a request Byrne said staff could help respond to by providing training or additional public-facing information about the project and equipment. Byrne told committee members a training course for the microphones and room technology could be provided.

Committee members moved and carried the purchase by voice vote. The county will proceed with licensing and is expected to provide operational training and public information as the virtual-court project is implemented.
