Election board seeks four-year MicroVOTE maintenance agreement and clears obsolete equipment
Summary
The Scott County election board presented a four-year MicroVOTE maintenance contract for $60,000 and requested disposal of 28 obsolete pull pads (disposal cost $352.62); commissioners approved both items after clarifying payment timing and budget availability.
Jessica Jones and Dylan Baker of the Scott County Election Board presented two items: a proposed four-year maintenance agreement with MicroVOTE totaling $60,000 ($15,000 per year) and a request to remove and dispose of 28 obsolete second-generation pull pads that cannot be updated.
Commissioners clarified whether the contract required a lump-sum payment within 60 days; election staff said the county had budgeted the amount and the vendor presented the contract as a four-year agreement for operational consistency. Commissioners said they are comfortable following the election board's recommendation and approved the contract by motion and voice vote.
On equipment disposition, staff reported the state requires use of a vendor to dispose of obsolete election equipment. The cost to dispose of 28 pull pads was stated as $352.62 total; the board granted permission to remove the items from inventory and proceed with disposal.
