Rhodes, representing the county’s ITS team, reviewed 2026 capital-improvement projects and presented a proposed Countywide Network Infrastructure Upgrade for 2027–2030. Rhodes said he does not anticipate returning funds from 2026 CIP projects and expressed confidence in the accuracy of the 2027 estimate.
Committee members discussed continuing-appropriation accounts and possible grant opportunities. Rhodes also raised license-cost optimization, noting that Microsoft Office is HIPAA and CJIS compliant and that he is exploring differentiating licenses so the county does not pay higher fees where they are not required. The committee approved moving the 2027–2030 CIP to the CIP hearings (motion Fried/Tautges).
