Commissioners authorize IT purchases including new hosted county website and network video recorders
Summary
IT requested and the board approved Oracle consulting support, $34,500 in replacement network video recorders (partially grant-funded) and up to $13,706.76 for a new hosted Crawford County website plus annual hosting costs of $2,143.64.
IT told commissioners it sought approval for three items: Oracle consulting support from Natalie Weekly Consulting LLC at $175 per hour (budgeted); replacement network video recorders from MobileCarm for $34,500 (not budgeted, with $15,000 to be paid using safety grant funds); and a new hosted Crawford County website from GoDaddy for up to $13,706.76 for design and development and an annual hosting/plug-in cost of $2,143.64 (not budgeted). The board moved, seconded and approved each request by roll call.
During discussion the chair said the GoDaddy option was “tens of thousands of dollars less expensive” than an alternative discussed in the work session.
The approvals permit procurement and contract execution to proceed; the transcript does not detail implementation timelines.
