3. Approve Bid for Voter Registration and Election Management Software Upgrade Duncan said that a few months ago, the Board approved seeking bids for voter registration and election management software. The current system has been with the county since 2002 and hadn't been updated in that time. Two companies had sent in proposals and the current vendor did not send in a proposal but did show the county a possible upgrade. After reviewing the proposals and seeing demos of all options, he was requesting seeking the Tenex software that was being offered by Liberty Systems. Liberty has been working with the county as the ballot printer, election supplier, election management since before Duncan was elected and had done the county voting machines since 2020. The cost of this was budgeted for out of the Election general fund budget.
Motion by Kilduff, seconded by Ibberson to recommend to the full Board approving the bid for new voter registration and election management software upgrade to the Tenex System.
RESULT: MOTION TO RECOMMEND [UNANIMOUS]
MOVER: Ryan Kilduff, Member
SECONDER: Jim Ibberson, Member
AYES: Dunnagan, Stayton, Adden, Ibberson, Kiel, Kilduff
4. Public Transportation Update
Blank said she had asked IDOT for a complete audit of the program and that is happening right now. There is a consultant going through every aspect of the program and making sure there is complete compliance on any changes they may be making. At some point, IDOT's consultant will also want to come to the Board to discuss the findings and any potential recommendations they may have. Blank said the school rides are still going forward and the main thing they are looking for is finding an affordable, sustainable path. They have lost some drivers and are working on trying to fill the positions. They currently have 3 full time openings currently.
5. Mt Clare Lot Owned by Public Health for Proposed Parking Lot
Schmidt said he had looked into the history of this situation and felt they had a handle on where it currently stood. The lot in Mt Clare had significant updates that would be needed for it to be done and based of the bids Blank had would cost more than was set aside for it in ARPA money. The lot on Macoupin Street in Gillespie could be done for less money than was budget for it. Blank said that her bids were $42,000 for fencing, asphalt is $74,000, security is $26,000, electricity is $16,000, and the gate is $7,000, which totaled $166,000. They would be meeting with the City of Gillespie to make sure that their ideas for the fencing would be acceptable for zoning purposes. The committee decided to discuss the topic again after the health department met with the City of GIllespie.
