West Bath to solicit bids on surplus computers; affirms off-site backups and tests for remote meetings
Summary
The Select Board agreed to solicit bids for surplus computer equipment after staff removed drives for data security; the board also confirmed off-site cloud backups and plans to test Teams/remote-meeting equipment before broader use.
The West Bath Select Board reviewed a town inventory of computers and peripherals and directed staff to solicit bids for identified surplus items. Samantha from Burgess removed hard drives from the machines and reported that remaining devices were usable; the board agreed to accept the top three bids for items displayed at the town meeting and on the town website.
Members discussed options for restoring some devices by adding drives and noted the potential for modest revenue from sales. The board also confirmed that all town computers are backed up to off-site cloud storage and that Suzanne will assist with Teams/remote-meeting setup; Samantha updated the 'owl' remote-meeting hardware and the board plans test runs before wider use.
A motion to solicit bids on the identified inventory was made and seconded; the transcript records the motion and subsequent timing discussion but does not include a recorded vote tally.
