The Board reviewed Information Technology Services matters. On a motion by
Robert G. Ziobrowski; seconded by John T. Flannery; unanimously approved an
addendum with AccessIT Group for additional licensing for VPN usage. This allows
connectivity for employees to work from home and still be able to safely and securely
connect to the county network. Up to this point, Checkpoint has given us a 6-month
grace period for licensing to cover the increase in need due to COVID19. Now we have
to pay for the increased licensing since we continue to have a significant portion of the
staff teleworking. The cost for 200 licenses and one year of support is $4280.00.

dark fiber between the new Administration Building and the garage. This will allow the

received from several vendors with this one being the lowest responsible bid.
