24 <br /> Vice-Chair McKee asked if that would be part of the VIPER system and might bring back <br /> signal issues as a problem. <br /> Kirby Saunders said it would be part of the VIPER and the towers will improve coverage <br /> but won't provide 100% reception throughout the county. He said they will greatly improve it. <br /> Vice-Chair McKee said he would like to know at what level of control they will have with <br /> VIPER system access. <br /> Kirby Saunders said VIPER serves only public safety agencies so they could not bring the <br /> schools onto the network. He said they do lose some ability to determine who is on the system, <br /> but the alternative is to build our own system and that is significantly more expensive. <br /> Vice-Chair McKee said his priority is covering schools and that he is not opposed to using <br /> VIPER. <br /> Kirby Saunders said that will be achieved with the BDA project and then attention is going <br /> to on-street coverage for the responders. He said there will be deficiencies and those will be <br /> identified for future expansion down the road. <br /> Commissioner Richards asked what the system is in the jail currently. <br /> Travis Myren said it's the old system that is 23 years old. He said the new management <br /> system is part of the construction cost and is independent from the cost of the facility. He said <br /> that it is a piece of software. <br /> Commissioner Richards asked if the jail management system and the records <br /> management system have to work together. She thought the new jail had a lot of technology <br /> updates. <br /> Travis Myren said that is correct and that is another reason the older system was kept in <br /> place at this time. He said the newer technology included more virtual visitation and telehealth. <br /> Slide #37 <br /> FY2023-33 Recommended Information Technology Projects <br /> • Information Technology Infrastructure - $837, 77 (p, 84) <br /> - Audio Visual Equipment Improvements S167,877 <br /> Cyber Seounty Initiatives $100.000 <br /> - Server and NetworX Upgrades S300,000 <br /> - LaptopiDesMop Replaoement$Oedule $2 9,a00 <br /> - Total Technology Infrastructure $837,377 <br /> eratlrLg costs of software rnalrrt-tnante in iuden by year <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> lam( KY1 I C':AROLINA <br /> ar <br />
