Commission approves reduction in contracted after‑hours IT support, county staff cite roughly $800 monthly savings

Christian County commissioners approved a contract amendment on May 21 that reduces the county's contracted after‑hours IT support with Pitt Technology.

Miss Kim, the purchasing representative, presented the item and said the county originally contracted 32 hours of after‑hours support, later reduced to 16, and now will move to 8 hours. IT staff member Rawlings, accompanying Miss Kim, said the change "right at $800 a month" in savings. Miss Kim said the county's IT department is taking over many functions and the amendment reflects current usage patterns.

Commissioner New York moved to approve the amendment; after a second the board approved it by voice vote and staff said they will send the executed documents. County presenters described the change as a way to align vendor hours with actual demand and lower ongoing costs for support services.

Why it matters: the amendment reduces recurring contracted hours and is intended to lower vendor costs while preserving an after‑hours fallback managed by the vendor. The item was described as an administrative savings measure; staff will implement the new schedule with Pitt Technology.
