Summary
The county's core computer systems — payroll, finances, public safety, email — run on aging hardware with support expiring this summer. Acting now costs about $1.26 million but saves an estimated $350,000 versus waiting, as hardware prices are climbing monthly.

Impact analysis
About $1.26 million up front, but an estimated $350,000 savings over five years versus the status quo.
Every county department and resident interacting with county services relies on these systems — payroll, public safety, permits, and more.
None identified; delaying would expose the county to unsupported systems and rising costs.
