BUDGET AMENDMENT TECHNOLOGY UPDATES SHERIFF
Clay Myers, Undersheriff explained that as of January 1, 2020
Microsoft will no longer be supporting Windows 7 and therefore the
County is essentially being forced to begin upgrading it now instead
of doing it slowly as they had hoped for. Jim Goeben, IT Director
said the upgrades need to be done by January 1st as Microsoft will no
longer be providing security patches and therefore there would be an
increase in vulnerability to viruses and connecting to the network.
The cost is significant because all of the Sheriff’s vehicles have
to have the upgrades because their computers are an all in one that
includes video, printer, network connections, etc.
Undersheriff Myers said their office should have some savings from
the salaries line due to unfilled positions. Those funds could be
transferred over to help cover some of the costs to upgrade.

The Board indicated they were not against the proposal and necessary
upgrades, but would like to have a chance to get it into perspective
and meet with the Budget & Finance Manager to see what options may
be available. The Board said they’d let the Sheriff’s office know
the status after they meet with Judy Pless and review the budget.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:40 a.m.
