County IT reports data‑center upgrades, internet cutover and a $170,000 hardware balance; court to prioritize DA office
Summary
IT staff reported data-center and firewall upgrades completed and internet consolidation underway; about $170,000 remains in the hardware line for purchases, and commissioners directed staff to prioritize replacing computers in critical departments, starting with the DA's office.
County officials gave an IT update noting recent data-center upgrades, completed firewall replacements and an internet consolidation scheduled for this week. IT staff said the county's current internet bandwidth was "maxed out" and that improvements should reduce daily performance issues.
The court reviewed hardware funding and a proposed plan to replace computers considered at risk. A staff summary indicated roughly $170,000 remaining in the hardware budget line at the end of May; the judge urged prioritizing judicial and legal offices first, and suggested department-by-department replacement planning. "If y'all wanna because y'all did just did that budget amendment to move that money into hardware," the judge said, asking IT to prepare a departmental ordering plan so purchases can begin this fiscal year.
Next steps: IT will propose a prioritized replacement list (starting with the DA's office and judicial users) and the court will consider ordering based on departmental needs and available funding.
