Summary
The court moved discussion of a proposed one‑year backup-and-recovery agreement with FreeIT Data Solutions (annual cost $199,587.62) into executive session for negotiation; after closed session staff were directed to work with the vendor to obtain cost to cover contract through 12/31/2026.
The commissioners court considered a request from the IT department to enter a one‑year service agreement with FreeIT Data Solutions for data backup and recovery at an annual cost of $199,587.62 and moved the matter to executive session to negotiate terms.
"Item 2.4h is discussion, consideration, and action on a request from the IT department to enter into a 1 year service agreement with FreeIT Data Solutions for data backup and recovery annual cost of $199,587.62," the judge read into the record before the court voted to recess to closed session. The court cited Texas Local Government Code sections for negotiation and personnel consultation.
After reconvening, commissioners directed the IT department to work with FreeIT Data Solutions to obtain a cost that would cover the contract through December 31, 2026. The court approved that direction by motion following the executive session and recorded the motion as carried.
