Elk County renews Advantage contract; commissioners discuss countywide equipment reserve and computer replacements
Summary
The board approved renewing an Advantage contract and discussed replacing county computers ahead of Windows 11, recommending departments set up equipment reserve funds to stagger replacement costs.
The Elk County Board unanimously approved renewal of an Advantage contract during its March 10 meeting and discussed the need to replace courthouse computers ahead of a Windows 11 upgrade.
Treasurer Rachel Ware presented the Advantage contract renewal and requested approval to add monies to the contract for service; Commissioners Liebau and Russell moved and seconded the approval and the motion carried 3-0. Ware noted county computers will be out-of-date when Windows 11 arrives in October and estimated quotes of about $5,000 per department for replacement systems.
Commissioners suggested each department create an equipment reserve fund to spread replacement costs rather than absorbing a single large purchase. The minutes record a follow-up discussion and direction for departments to plan equipment reserve funds; no specific reserve fund or budget transfer was approved at this meeting.
