Nelson County commissioners approve NRG server upgrade and higher backup costs
Summary
Nelson County commissioners unanimously approved a vendor quote from NRG for a server upgrade (hardware and labor $7,059.63) and a monthly backup increase of $505.71 to $1,155.71 to support new tax software, following a presentation by County Auditor Nathan Parks.
Nelson County Auditor Nathan Parks presented vendor quotes from NRG on Feb. 12 for a county server upgrade and larger backups needed to support new tax software planned for 2024. Parks said the hardware-and-labor cost would be $7,059.63 and that monthly backup expenses would rise $505.71, from $650.00 to $1,155.71.
Commissioner Mike Haugland moved to approve the NRG quotes; Commissioner Cameron Swenson seconded. The commission voted unanimously in favor. Chairman Cody Johnson formally closed the item after the roll-call vote.
Why it matters: the upgraded server and expanded backups are intended to support the county’s deployment of new tax software this year, shifting recurring IT costs upward by the quoted backup increase. The quotes approved cover both hardware and labor for the upgrade and an ongoing higher monthly backup fee.
