Cornerstone Technology presented a Nextiva cloud-phone quote with a $1,091 upfront fee and an estimated $911 monthly charge; the Commission unanimously authorized verifying internet speed and a 30-day trial in two to three courthouse offices.

Cornerstone Technology Solutions, Inc. presented a quote on March 16 for a cloud-based Nextiva phone system that would require an upfront fee of $1,091 and carry an estimated monthly cost of $911, comparable to the county’s current phone plan.

Sheriff Chad Bowers asked whether existing internet speeds would be sufficient to support the system. On a motion by Commissioner Carole Hartman the commission voted unanimously to have Cornerstone verify the county’s internet speed and to install a 30-day trial of the phone system in two to three courthouse offices to evaluate performance.

The commission did not record the names of a second or further implementation details beyond the trial authorization. The county will receive a verification of internet capability before proceeding with any purchase decision.
