Commissioners approve $45,755 SmartNet Cisco licensing renewal; MIS to be renamed IT
Summary
The board voted unanimously to renew SmartNet Cisco licensing for $45,755.77 and to rename the county Management Information Systems (MIS) department to Information Technology (IT); the board also agreed to rescind a prior PensionPro software offer.
The Schuylkill County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously May 21 to approve the immediate renewal of SmartNet Cisco licensing through Shadow Technologies for June 21, 2026–June 20, 2027 at a cost of $45,755.77, and to support related departmental housekeeping measures.
Director of Management Information Systems Connor Matz presented the request and also asked the board to rescind the prior offer for PensionPro software and to rename the MIS department to Information Technology (IT). Commissioner Barron Hetherington moved to approve the request; Commissioner Gary Hess seconded. Roll-call votes recorded Commissioner Padora – yes; Commissioner Hetherington – yes; Commissioner Hess – yes.
The transcript records the motion, second and a three-member roll-call in favor. The minutes do not include additional details on PensionPro’s rescission beyond the request; the record indicates the SmartNet renewal was approved by that vote.
Next steps: the contract renewal term and the department name change will be implemented administratively; county IT and procurement staff will execute the licensing renewal as approved.
