Greene County approves event center network upgrade and new digital sign
Summary
The board authorized Endeavor to perform a network upgrade at the county event center and approved a lower-cost quote for a new digital sign from a company in the transcript named variably as "HUS" or "Husk," with both purchases to be funded from capital/categorical funds referenced as "chem cap."
The Greene County Board of Commissioners approved two related items for the county event center: a network equipment and installation contract with Endeavor and a purchase agreement for a new digital sign from the vendor noted in the transcript as "HUS" (also transcribed as "Husk"). Commissioners said the equipment and installation quoted by Endeavor and Matrix were comparable, but staff recommended Endeavor because of prior work at the facility and faster deployment.
"I would expect the Matrix, it would probably cost us a few more hours additional to do the work out there...so my recommendation would be Endeavor just because they've done the work out there before," Michael (Commissioner) said. Michael estimated the package at about $22,000 for equipment and services.
Staff discussed wiring and low-voltage details and noted only one additional cable run would be needed at the site. Commissioners also discussed the county's internet contract at the facility, with Michael saying he would investigate increasing the county's service from the current 50 Mbps toward 100 Mbps to support the upgrades. The board moved to accept Michael's recommendation to proceed with Endeavor; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Separately, Unidentified Speaker 1 said Commissioner Graves had gathered quotes for a new digital sign and that the lower-cost option (transcribed as "HUS/Husk company") was recommended and approved. Unidentified Speaker 1 indicated both the networking equipment and the sign purchase would be funded from what the agenda called "chem cap money." The board approved both measures by voice votes.
