County staff discuss brief delay for assessor office phone-carrier switch
Summary
With the county assessor absent, staff said the office prefers a short delay to transition cellphone service so annual administrative work and tax-roll tasks are completed; T-Mobile offered a 30-day window to avoid double billing.
The board reviewed a brief operational request for a cellphone-carrier transition involving the assessor's office. Chief Deputy Michael Rutled relayed the assessor's apologies and said the assessor preferred delaying the switch until after heavy administrative work at the start of the year is complete.
Commissioner Duncan asked whether the transition involved four phones; staff confirmed the assessor would retain the same four devices and only the service provider would change. Rutled said the county'wide administrative calendar has an April 15 marker, with a likely migration window in June or July once early-year tasks are done.
Sarah Masters told the board T-Mobile offered a 30-day window to transition without incurring double billing and that other departments (the AMP department and the airport) had scheduled switches. Board members acknowledged the vendor window and agreed staff could proceed within that timeline.
No formal action or vote was taken; staff will coordinate the precise timing to avoid overlapping bills and to minimize disruption to assessor operations.
