Commissioners approve $273,937.71 in bills, including additional IT charges

Coryell County commissioners approved bills totaling $268,355.55 and a late supplemental addition of $5,823.26, for a total payment of $273,937.71. The additional charges included items such as a judge's bond, training, IT wiring and computer parts.

"We have bills in the amount... $268,355.55," the chair said during the meeting. A commissioner moved to add $5,823.26 that arrived late to the packet, citing purchases for training, IT, postage and road supplies, and the board approved the amended total by voice vote. Staff said the county would receive an invoice from CDW Government for additional equipment and wiring to replace satellite computer power infrastructure and further computer replacements in the coming weeks.

Commissioners asked clarifying questions about the scope of the IT purchases and staff said this purchase would reduce the computer replacement backlog from about 85 to roughly 60 units after the order.
