IT projects: two contracts approved, equipment failures disrupt sheriff laptops

Tama County Board of Supervisors · September 8, 2026

Summary

IT staff reported two remaining contracts (West Annex for $26,608.33 and K Avenue for a spoken amount) and warned of repeated equipment failures that disrupted deputies' laptops; staff said a replacement purchase may be needed.

David delivered the IT projects report, listing two remaining contracts: West Annex at $26,608.33 and a K Avenue contract described in the transcript as “42441” (as spoken). He said one piece of equipment failed again this past week and that the single point of failure affected sheriff deputies’ ability to use laptops and connected admin systems.

“I might have to buy another piece of equipment,” David said, noting this was the second failure in two weeks. He reported that the county is proceeding with building work and the contracts have been issued.

Supervisors thanked David for the update during a later public‑comment acknowledgment and asked for follow up on the failure and replacement timeline. No vendor names for the replacement hardware were given in the transcript.
