IT director flags $93,000 reserve transfer and new mobile-data retention costs
Summary
IT Director Chuck Carter told commissioners the county plans a $93,000 reserve transfer for jail computers and upgrades and that new requirements to retain calls, texts, images and other mobile-device data may cost about $15,000 to implement.
IT Director Chuck Carter explained that a proposed $93,000 reserve transfer is intended to cover jail computers and software upgrades. He also reported the county is now required to begin saving calls, text messages, pictures and other data on every county cell phone and mobile device; the minutes record an estimated compliance cost of about $15,000.
Carter said the salary survey identifies the IT director and cybersecurity officer positions as underpaid relative to private-market targets and noted increases associated with the Hancock Site hardware and additional software licenses (SonicWall and Microsoft) that contributed to budget increases.
