IT requests added after cyber incident as staff scramble to keep up

County IT leaders reported they are stretched thin following a recent security incident and requested two positions: a cybersecurity administrator and a field technician. Commissioners acknowledged the need. "They're working themselves to death, trying to keep up with everything," the presiding judge said.

Members expressed support in principle for the positions, noting the operational risk of being understaffed, and asked that specific job descriptions and exact costs be included in the proposed budget materials. No final hires were authorized at the consensus hearing.
