Board approves $56,455 Microsoft server license renewal for county IT systems
Summary
The board approved a 31‑month Microsoft server license upgrade to move county servers from 2019 to newer versions; IT staff said the cost is $56,455.36 and the expense fits existing budgets with offsets.
The Becker County Board approved purchase of Microsoft server licenses to update county servers from 2019 to current supported versions. IT staff (Judy, speaker10) presented a memorandum requesting a 31‑month license purchase that will cover upgrades to 2022/2025; the cost presented was $56,455.36.
"It's good for 31 months, and the cost is $56,455.36," Judy said during her presentation. Finance committee members noted the purchase was unplanned in one line item but can be covered by other budgeted funds. A motion to approve the purchase passed on a voice vote.
Next steps: IT will execute the license purchase and schedule server upgrades; the county expects routine periodic licensing purchases in multi‑year cycles.
