Vigo County's IT staff asked the council to reallocate $40,000 out of the county's new-equipment budget and into contractual services (Resolution 2026-2) to pay for several internet connections already installed at county buildings — including the South Highway garage and one of the group homes — and to start a full overhaul of the county website, needed in part, staff said, because the county is losing its current web hosting and because the new site will have to meet federal ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) accessibility rules.
Staff member Scott (probable identification) told the council he could not recall every line item covered by the transfer, and several council members pressed for a specific breakdown rather than a lump sum.
