Beginning at a point in the Northwest corner of the West Three Fourths (W 3/4) of the Southeast Quarter of the Northeast Quarter of Section 15, Township 13 South, range 21 East of the 6th P.M.; thence running South 10 rods; thence East 16 rods; thence North 10 rods; thence West 16 rods to the place of beginning, all in Douglas County, Kansas, consisting of 1 acre more or less.
Motion was seconded by Gaughan and carried 3-0.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY 08-04-10
The Board considered the approval to authorize the purchase of two SAN storage units with a five-year service agreement which would expand the Douglas County storage area network. Jim Lawson, Director of Information Technology, stated he expects the Douglas County storage network to max out within the next six months. Storage is needed for our primary network, as well as, our remote disaster recovery site. Lawson received a quote through our Western States Contract Alliance with ISG Technology for $93,000. He received two other quotes which were higher.
Lawson stated our new system was purchased in 2008 and we waited to purchase more storage until it was needed. We are ultimately saving money as the cost of space has decreased and should continue to as technology progresses. He predicts the County will need to expand again in three years.
Thellman moved to authorize the purchase of two SAN units along with a five-year service agreement from ISG Technology for the amount of $93,000 utilizing the WSCA pricing contract. Motion was seconded by Gaughan and carried 3-0.
