IT update: timekeeping migration, cybersecurity grant and donation of obsolete switches approved
Summary
IT staff described a cloud-based timekeeping migration and ticketing priorities, asked permission to apply for a $50,000 cybersecurity grant, and the committee approved declaring obsolete switches surplus and donating eight to SUNY Adirondack after a successful amendment during the motion.
IT staff told supervisors the county is migrating an end-of-life timekeeping system to a cloud-hosted version and emphasized the work is primarily a software rebuild: vendor reconfiguration is required to preserve union pay codes, shift rules and accruals. Staff said the project was showing roughly 20% complete and that Internet connectivity has been established at a new site but some cabling termination and access-control wiring remain to be finished.
On equipment, IT reported 23 older network switches brought $109 at auction and requested permission to donate eight of the switches to SUNY Adirondack's IT program and re-auction the remaining 15. A motion to declare the equipment surplus was moved and, following an amendment to declare surplus and donate the eight switches to the college program, the committee approved the amended motion by voice vote.
IT also requested permission to apply for a cybersecurity grant with a maximum award of $50,000 and no local match requirement; supervisors approved the application submission.
What happens next: IT will coordinate with county departments on cutover timing for the timekeeping software, complete cabling termination where needed, donate the eight switches to SUNY Adirondack per the approved motion and submit the cybersecurity grant application.
