Coryell County updates IT transition to new vendor; network mapping nearly complete
Summary
Officials told the court that Goldsmith has completed network mapping for the courthouse and annex and will be point of contact for internet outages; sheriff's office and jail remain to be mapped and the IT committee will vet projects and budget recommendations through mid‑next year.
County staff and commissioners discussed progress on an IT transition to a contracted provider, Goldsmith, who has mapped networks for the courthouse and the new annex and will coordinate internet service and outages for county systems.
The judge said Goldsmith "will be our point of contact for Internet services and outages" and that the vendor is included in the county’s managed IT services contract. Commissioners agreed to keep an IT committee to vet projects and to expect monthly briefings from Paul Goldsmith to the court. The judge estimated the transition could stretch into the first part of January and anticipated recurring agenda items related to IT through the next budget season.
Commissioners raised several operational points: uncovering duplicate internet bills to save money, coordinating security requirements for servers at the jail, and potential equipment‑life extensions through HVAC improvements in server areas. The court agreed to continue committee oversight and schedule periodic updates to inform budgeting decisions.
