Selectboard authorizes up to $31,000 for new town hall server; staff to schedule migration
Summary
The Selectboard voted to authorize purchase of a replacement town server for up to $31,000 from the Town Hall IT management system expendable trust fund; vendor work by EmmerTech will migrate data over several weeks with limited downtime expected.
The Selectboard authorized the purchase and installation of a replacement town hall server to address an aging system and security and reliability risks.
Staff presented a recommendation from the town’s vendor (EmmerTech) describing a migration plan that will move data from the old server to a new unit over several weeks with limited expected interruptions. Several figures were discussed in the meeting: staff said the town has various quoted totals and that the motion before the board was to authorize purchase "up to $31,000" and to draw funds from the Town Hall IT management system expendable trust fund.
Selectboard members moved and seconded the authorization. The motion to authorize the purchase up to $31,000 passed by voice vote (ayes recorded). Staff said they will notify department heads in advance of any brief shutdowns and coordinate the migration schedule with EmmerTech.
No board member recorded a recorded roll-call vote in the transcript; the vote was taken by voice and recorded in the minutes as 'Aye.'
