Jefferson County approves $11,400 contract for precinct poll‑books
Summary
The Jefferson County commissioners approved a three‑year Tenix poll‑book contract covering 76 tablets, with an annual licensing expense discussed as $11,400; commissioners said the cost will be handled in the county budget.
Jefferson County commissioners voted to approve a contract for precinct poll‑books with Tenix Software Solutions, a county staffer said, after staff outlined an expected annual licensing cost affecting 76 tablets.
County elections staff member Kathy told commissioners the renewal would raise the county’s licensing costs for the tablets. “It will be an increase of $25 per tablet, and we do have 76 tablets,” Kathy said during the meeting. Staff later presented the contract total as $11,400 for the set of tablets and associated licensing.
Commissioners discussed the increase and confirmed the expense can be absorbed in the current budget year. One commissioner said the county “doesn't have much choice if we want it and we need it for our elections,” noting the poll‑books are required for precinct operations. A motion to approve the contract was moved and seconded and taken to roll call.
The contract was presented as standard terms approved through the Secretary of State’s office. Commissioners asked staff to note the line item for budgeting next year when the recurring annual licensing will be reviewed.
The board did not state a detailed roll‑call tally on the record; minutes show the motion was moved, seconded and advanced to roll call.
