Judge recommends $750K for servers, endorses merit increases for IT staff
Summary
The County Judge told the court that replacing aging county servers would cost about $750,000 and recommended merit and grade adjustments for IT staff, approving raises and grade changes for specific positions named in the record.
During the workshop the County Judge said the county faces major IT capital needs, including server replacements he estimated at about $750,000, and that some other items could be leased rather than purchased outright. He praised the county’s IT leader, 'Corey,' and said he would recommend specific increases for IT positions based on performance and the salary study.
“IT has major capital expenditure requests... It’s about $750,000,” the judge said. He later listed recommended individual adjustments and said, “Corey asked for just a shade under 6000 dollars 5943, I think. And I'm approving that.” The judge described additional grade and step changes for other IT positions as part of the broader effort to align pay with the salary study.
The court discussed financing options for equipment and balancing one‑time capital costs with ongoing personnel costs. Staff will return with detailed cost breakdowns and financing scenarios to incorporate into the recommended budget for public consideration.
