County approves up to $70,000 to replace outdated computers

Lew Harter, Information Technology Director, told commissioners the county has approximately 400 total workstations and mobile computers and follows a five-year replacement cycle. Staff recommended replacing devices from 2020 or prior and proposed replacing up to one-fifth of devices each year (about 80), estimating an average device cost of roughly $900 and requesting authority to spend up to $70,000 to replace outdated equipment.
