Sand Lake council tables decision on server after township ends sharing arrangement
Summary
The council learned the township will stop sharing its server and tabled a decision while staff gathers quotes for a local server and a BS&A cloud migration. Council voted to delay action to allow more vendor comparisons.
President Doerr told the council that the township has voted to stop sharing its server and has given the Village 30 days to find an alternative. Doerr said he has been collecting quotes for a local server and is exploring BS&A cloud as an option that would eliminate the need for on-site hardware.
Councilmember Camilleri moved to table any decision about the village's IT/server solution until the council receives additional quotes; Councilmember Helton supported the motion. The motion passed with six votes in favor and one member absent. The tabled motion leaves staff and Doerr to gather more pricing and implementation details for the council to consider within the township's 30-day window.
No vendor contracts or costs were provided during the meeting; councilors did not vote to authorize an immediate purchase or migration at this session. The council's action preserves time to compare the potential costs and operational trade-offs between maintaining a local server versus migrating to a cloud service such as BS&A.
Doerr did not record a preferred vendor in the minutes and no timeline for a follow-up meeting on this specific item was stated during the session.
