Village approves $26,704.53 purchase of network switches to update village and police IT
Summary
The board approved purchasing nine network switches from Noble Tech LLC (Ubiquiti hardware) for $26,704.53 to replace aging equipment at village hall and police department; staff said the equipment should provide roughly a 10‑year life and carries a one‑year manufacturer's warranty.
IT staff presented a request to replace aging network switches that connect phones, computers, Wi‑Fi and servers at village hall and the police department. "Our current assortment of switches is up there in years ... Some of it is 10 years old," the IT representative said, recommending Noble Tech LLC and Ubiquiti equipment to provide additional capacity and modular failover capability.
The board discussed expected life span and warranty terms (IT staff said about 10 years with a one‑year manufacturer's warranty). Trustee Selfridge moved approval and Trustee Amos seconded; the measure passed on a roll call vote. The purchase is intended to reduce downtime risk and give staff room to add equipment without immediate capacity constraints.
