Notus clerk reports failing computers; city seeking quotes for replacements
Summary
City Clerk Loretta Vollmer reported that recent Windows updates exposed failing systems in the clerk's and treasurer's offices, with freezing and Word/Excel running in safe mode; the city has one bid and is awaiting additional quotes.
City Clerk Loretta Vollmer told the council that recent Windows updates revealed aging hardware problems: the treasurer’s computer and the clerk’s workstation have been freezing and are operating with Word and Excel in "safe mode," limiting functions. The clerk said failures were observed April 21 and again May 20–21, and that the city has received one bid (Benconnected) and is waiting for additional quotes.
Council did not vote on a replacement vendor at the meeting but discussed obtaining further estimates and moving forward to replace failing equipment. The clerk emphasized that limited software functionality could affect routine financial and records work until the replacements are installed.
