Kingsbury County to switch to .gov email domain; grant sought to offset costs
Summary
IT Coordinator Caryn Hojer told commissioners the switch to .gov email accounts would cost roughly $4,000 up front and $14,460 annually; the board authorized proceeding and Hojer will apply for a Secure South Dakota grant to offset the first-year cost.
Kingsbury County voted March 17 to transition county email accounts to a .gov domain after an update from IT Coordinator Caryn Hojer. Hojer estimated the one-time migration cost at approximately $4,000 and ongoing annual costs of about $14,460. The board approved proceeding with the transition (Motion by Spilde, second by Lundquist; all aye).
Hojer said she would apply for a Secure South Dakota grant to offset the first‑year migration expense. The change will require IT coordination and ongoing budget planning for an estimated $14,460 annual cost; the minutes do not specify when billing would begin or whether costs will be absorbed by the current IT budget or require a future appropriation.
