IT recommends Sharp SBS for courthouse AV but commissioners ask budget questions
Summary
IT presented a bid from Sharp SBS for a courthouse AV/livestream system totaling $81,987.53. Commissioners asked which items are already budgeted and whether costs could be shared with other departments; staff will reconcile existing budget lines before moving forward.
The county IT manager presented a bid to install an integrated AV and livestream system in both courthouses from Sharp SBS for $81,987.53. Commissioners supported modernizing audio and zoned microphone control but questioned whether parts of the system were already budgeted in other lines and whether judges' or courthouse budgets should cover a portion of the cost.
The chair directed staff to verify which components are already in budget and to identify opportunities to allocate costs across departments or future budget amendments. No award was finalized at the work session; staff will return with a budget reconciliation and recommendation for the commission to consider at a formal meeting.
