County approves up to $70,000 to replace outdated computers
Summary
Butler County approved replacing aging workstations, mobile computers and thin clients—targeting devices from 2020 or older—authorizing up to $70,000 for purchases to maintain a five-year replacement cycle.
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80), estimating an average device cost of roughly $900 and requesting authority to spend up to $70,000 to replace outdated equipment.
Commissioner Darren Jackson moved to approve the purchase of new computers to replace out-of-date devices for a total cost not to exceed $70,000 and authorized staff to sign purchase documents; Commissioner Dan Woydziak seconded and the motion carried 5-0.
