Summary

IT coordinator presented quotes to upgrade 17 machines unsupported by Windows 10 and an option covering all 44 county devices; commissioners asked for Nex-Tech payment history to evaluate ongoing support costs.

Shannon Rothchild presented two quotes for county IT: one to upgrade 17 devices that will no longer be supported by Windows 10 and another comprehensive quote to cover all 44 county devices, including IT support and firewall services.

Rothchild said the larger bid would "fully cover any IT support, firewalls and the 17 devices would be upgraded from Microsoft 10." Commissioners asked staff to provide information on how much the county paid Nex-Tech in the prior year to help compare continuing support costs before deciding which quote to accept.

No procurement decision was made at the meeting; commissioners requested additional cost-history data to inform the choice between a targeted replacement and broader support contract.
