Maintenance Superintendent will be leaving soon and there are two people in-house that are being considered for his spot.

Jim Frankenhoff said he’s received the AR/AR Road Management report and explains the findings to the committee and the statutes and laws surrounding it as well as costs/revenue for county.

b. Information Technology Department

Beginning Monday Barracuda firewalls will be put in place. Doing it on a holiday so network can be down without messing with the majority of departments.

Wifi antennas have been placed not powered up and going. Few more switches to get them up and running. About 200 access points installed.

Verkada renewal (about $100,000) for camera system will be coming up next month.

The doors will be started the first week of March. Terry is working to find proper door strikes for new installations and getting with Mac’s Electric for proper schedules. Starting with 911 building, then EMS station 1 get them going on it before the installations at the courthouse. Everything will need to be done quickly as fobs will no longer work once online everyone will need new keycards.

Livestream begins tonight board meeting. Use microphones so that the public is able to hear. Can be found on youtube.com.

Working on getting a room set up for Zoom set up for federal inmates. Equipment is being ordered so they can use Zoom for court hearings. Also looking into interpreters.

CAD System, Records Management System, & Mobile Cop System- vendor is closing end of year so looking for new vendor bids/demonstrations. This will effect all emergency departments: EMS, 911, QPD, Sheriff’s Department, and Emergency Management. Antiquated system that hasn’t been updated for a long time and is due for replacement. Cost to be divided between all effected departments. Adams County IT Department recommends that all technology to this end be handled through their department. Currently they handle everything except the Mobile Cop System, however because the city’s IT Department is so understaffed currently, Mr. Hochgraber believes it would be best for all involved to have the same entity handling all of it.

c. Courthouse Maintenance

Mold remediation update- Dave Bellis for Terry Bower air filters changedas scheduled, air scrubbers and purifiers installed, manhole on sally port is sealed, treated the filing cabinet area and it has been cleaned and painted, exposed paperwork has been sealed into air tight tubs, air diffusers have been installed throughout the building during a holiday weekend. The county clerk election room was recarpeted, the law library has been recarpeted and painted and tiles have been replaced. Courtroom 3A will get the new carpet and paint Feb 19th next then move on to 2B and judge’s chambers. Will be adjusted to fit schedules. Suggestion made that it needs to be addressed to county employees that the courtrooms that will be used during the interim have been cleaned/treated.
