County approves election software contract; staff to reallocate funds internally
Summary
Commissioners approved a contract covering election software licenses and mandatory upgrades for the current maintenance period; staff said upgrades were not budgeted and funds will be moved internally rather than requested as additional appropriations.
County staff asked the board to approve a contract for election systems and software covering licenses and maintenance for the July 1, 2025–Jan. 30, 2026 maintenance year.
Staff said the required software upgrades were initiated in 2025 and that most of the work was supported by the state; the portion the county must cover had not been budgeted. County staff and the county attorney said they will move funds internally to cover costs rather than seek additional appropriations from the commissioners.
Following a motion and second, the board approved the request by voice vote.
What happens next
County finance and elections staff will reallocate internal budget lines to cover the county's portion of the software maintenance and proceed with the contract execution.
