9:28:21 AM Gene Sugg and Justin Thompson -Information Technology Department Update
Mr. Sugg reported they are in the process of getting Western District Court computers updated. Eastern District will be next.

Mr. Thompson said that the fiberoptics system is going great. The phone system at the Board of DD will soon be upgraded and will be compatible with the rest of the county. Mr. Hall asked about the Sheriff's phone system - is it compatible with the rest of the county. Mr. Thompson said no. Mr. Hall said that the sheriff is getting a new phone system and the prosecutor has asked about getting their old one. Mr. Thompson and Mr. Sugg both thought that would not be advisable especially since it is an old system.

Mr. Hall asked how much space is being used when backing up on the server. Mr. Thompson said that we are maxed out on the server.

Commissioner Genter asked about available space in the equipment room. Mr. Thompson and Mr. Sugg said that as far as heat generated by the equipment, yes it is full to capacity. They are working with DeAlton Boyers on ways to keep that room cooler. Mr. Hall asked about opening the wall where the phone bank is - would that help the problem. Mr. Thompson said the air would still have to be forced out. Commissioner Graf asked if that room was sprinkled. No one was 100% sure on that and Mr. Sugg said that he would check into that.

Commissioner Genter asked what they are doing presently on backup. Mr. Sugg responded that data is being backed up on tape every night and stored off site.

Commissioner Graf said that tons of money has been spent in that room and that the Commissioners need to be certain that all is protected the way it should be.

Mr. Hall asked about computer knowledge of the software that we have. Mr. Sugg said that most are familiar with what they do every day as long as it does what they want it to. He added that they do intend to have some education for them in the future. Mr. Hall also asked about the utilization of the software that we have. Mr. Sugg said that could probably be improved upon - a lot still use Word Perfect.

Doug Nafziger was also present for this update and gave the Commissioners a brief overview of the new financial software project.

Commissioner Graf asked Mr. Multhauf about the fire protection for the computer room that had bee discussed in the Information Technology department update. Mr. Multhauf responded that this has been a big topic of discussions lately. He will send someone to talk with Dawn to address the issue.
