Executive Committee approves Spyglass wireless audit, IT hardware upgrades and budget transfers
Loading...
Summary
The committee approved a Spyglass wireless-audit proposal, authorized 2025 budget transfers, and discussed IT continuing-appropriation requests including website ADA compliance (approx. $28,000), a 10 GB fiber hardware upgrade and VSP core hardware.
Finance staff presented several routine financial items and the committee approved 2025 budget transfers, noting overages tied to out-of-home residential care costs. Finance representative Smigielski told the committee that a previous Spyglass land-line audit saved about $11,000 per year and that the company’s wireless-audit proposal would use a contingency model: Spyglass keeps first-year savings, and if no savings are found they receive no payment. The committee approved engaging Spyglass for a wireless audit (motion Jensen/Schreier; vote All Aye).
IT Director Jason Rhodes told the committee the county upgraded fiber to 10 GB and needs hardware to accommodate the higher capacity; he requested continuing-appropriation funding for hardware and for website ADA-compliance updates, which he estimated could be about $28,000 primarily due to the Health Department and main website work. Rhodes also described needed VSP core-switch hardware and said contracted labor would be required for implementation.
The committee approved the budget transfers and audit engagement and directed staff to provide additional detail on IT staffing overlap and the hardware procurement process before finalizing contracts. The finance and IT items were forwarded to the County Board as consent agenda items.
