County IT upgrades ambulance-station connectivity, begins email backups; committee hears about requested intersection cameras
Summary
IT staff reported installation of a new internet link to the Ojibwe ambulance station, network rewiring for county offices, initiation of email backups, and a law-enforcement request to install cameras at several intersections including 27 and 63 and Main Street.
Sawyer County information-technology staff reported work to improve connectivity and begin basic enterprise backups, and the committee heard about a separate law-enforcement request for intersection cameras.
IT staff member Mike said he and a colleague installed a T‑Mobile connection for the ambulance station on Ojibwe and rewired networks for the county clerk and register of deeds offices. "We started backing up our email account. It's something we never had done before," Mike said, noting that the county now has an additional copy of email and cloud data.
Mike also provided the Zoom and YouTube viewership counts the committee requested, showing both platforms have been used for committee meetings over the past six months. When asked about a line item labeled "intersections," Mike said law enforcement requested cameras at key intersections—specifically "27 and 63" and locations on Main Street—to increase public‑area surveillance; the committee did not take action on camera installation at the meeting.
The committee accepted the IT report as informational.
