County buys backup internet for courthouse and sheriff's office

IT staff presented Meriplex backup internet options to provide redundancy when the county's primary internet service is unavailable. Two price options were recorded in the minutes: $956/month plus $300 one-time for the sheriff's office, and $1,186/month plus $870 one-time for courthouse offices. The board approved purchasing backup internet for both locations at a combined monthly cost of $2,142 and one-time fees totaling $1,170; the motion passed 3-0.
