IT director wins approval for $5,528 security appliance upgrade and service renewal
Summary
IT Director Jeff Butler asked the board to upgrade the county's security appliance (in place since 2019) to keep up with vendor updates and to maintain bandwidth and security; commissioners approved the quote not to exceed $5,528.
Jeff Butler, the county's IT director, told commissioners the county's security appliance has been in service since 2019 and typically appliances are replaced every 5–7 years; he requested approval to upgrade and retain the vendor for managed services. Butler said the service fees have not increased since 2019 and the upgrade would also improve bandwidth for the courthouse and county building.
A commissioner moved to approve the vendor quote prepared by CRM not to exceed $5,528; the motion carried by voice vote. Butler said two similar appliances are budgeted next year and staff will return for those updates when scheduled.
