II. AGENDA ITEMS
1. Courthouse Phone Upgrade Discussion
Thomas discussed that there had been discussions previously about updating the courthouse phone system which is an older system. Public Health had recently done an upgrade of their phone system with Madison Telco that would be in all of their buildings once completed, only Maple Street Clinic was left. They had started with their first building in August of 2018. Phones are run through the internet which allows them to use the system throughout their buildings across the county. They have at least 15 extensions in each of their buildings with 50 in one building being the most. There bill is about $1,200 a month in each building and no additional long distance cost. Phones were $250 each. The committee decided to reach out to Madison Telco to get information how potential costs for the Courthouse should they go with Madison Telco.
2. Update on GIS Manager Duties
Clerk Duncan, State's Attorney Watson, and GIS Manager Coe discussed the updated policy they had developed for the GIS Manager.
