members stated their appreciation in working with TRICOR.
Courthouse Maintenance—Mark Udelhofen, Courthouse maintenance reported the two towers that
were approved at the November 2017 Public Property/Technology meeting have been installed by WHV.
They are up and running properly. Now Mark doesn’t have to worry about them shutting down on
weekends and nights. Everything is caught up and ready for spring.
The carpet extractor that is used between the Courthouse and Administration Building has broken
down, the machine is 20 years old; repairing it will not be an option. Maintenance presented the
following quotes for a new machine.
Weber Paper Company ES300 XP 16”/9 Gal. $2997.66
Hillyard ADV265502 16”/9 Gal. $2625.84
Hillyard ADV265500 16”/9 Gal. $3016.05
We have worked with Weber Paper Company in the past, both Mark and Terry prefer to purchase from
them. The customer service has been good and they are closer to us in this area. No action is needed
there is money in the Courthouse Building Maintenance to purchase the machine.
Administration Building Maintenance—Terry Clark reported two quotes were requested from
WHV for additional upgrades as long as the building is getting a new air handler. The additional
repairs will be as follows:
WHV Air Handling Unit Bearings replacement $2818.00
WHV Exhaust Fan $1852.00

The committee approved the upgrades, no action will be needed, there is enough money in the
Capital Outlay Building Account to pay for this additional upgrade in the Administration
Building.
DOT Proposal for the 2019 Street Project: Chair Robert Keeney gave the committee information
regarding property the Department of Transportation would like to purchase from the County to be
used for temporary access easements by the Job Service Building and some property around the
Courthouse.
Negotiation with DOT did not turn out to be too helpful. However, the negotiation with the City of
Lancaster did. The County can sign an agreement with the city, as they replace new lighting during the
street project on the square, the County could eliminate two light poles by adjusting the position of the
city lighting so all areas will be adequately covered. A light can be installed by the door on the southeast
corner for better coverage.
John Beinborn, seconded by Dwight Nelson, made a motion to approve signing an agreement with the
City of Lancaster which will eliminate the installation of two light poles out of three that were to be paid
for the County, receiving a payment form the City of Lancaster of $12,700.00 for the purchase of the
land for TLE easements and replacement landscaping to go forward with the street project and dis-
continue negotiations with DOT. Motion carried.
IT Director Report: Shane Drinkwater was introduced to the committee; he is the new IT
Director the County has hired to replace Jeff Anderson. At age 16 he started his first IT job, has
worked in the IT industry for the past 26 years primarily in the IT Health Care. He is looking
forward to working for the County; it will be a very different from what he has done in the past.
He said the current IT staff has been very helpful in getting him up to speed on things that have
happened. He stated the current IT staff have been very professional and have handled things
very well by working together in keeping the County going forward, he if very impressed. Dana
commented that Shane has come in as being a team building and a consensus type leader. He
made it clear he was not coming in to run everything but to manage and help all the staff to
meet the mission requirements.
IT Report: Shane reported on things that happened in the last few months.
1. There was a scam detected, the county had a power cell exploit done, all machines were
found to be cleaned, the bug got squashed.
2. A new internet line is going in for Conservation, Sanitation and Zoning, estimated
completion is for the month of May.
3. There was an email fishing campaign, unknown data breach, social security nu mbers
were involved. There is a special investigator assigned by the State because of the wide
spread exposure this has caused. Some of this fishing campaign was found in home
computers as well as business and county computers.
Carol Beals asked Randy Peterson, TRICOR if the County is covered for any cyber breach, yes we
have that insurance.
Judge Craig Day was present to update the committee on a problem they have been having in
the second floor sound system. Dana has tried to clean up the system, it helped for a few days,
3
and then it started acting up again. The current system is obsolete, Judge Day is asking for a
total upgrade in the sound system. Lifeline has submitted a quote for $987.00 for this upgrade .
This system would be compatible with the proposed system that is being discussed with the
new facility technology. Judge Day is aware what is installed now must be compatible with any
new system that may be installed via the new facility. These possib ilities have been discussed
and will be addressed when the technology needs are worked out in the future for both video
and audio needs.
Don Splinter, seconded by Dan Timmerman, made a motion to approve the upgrade for the
sound system in the second floor Courtroom by Lifeline for a cost of $987.00. The cost will be
paid for out of the Capital Outlay Building account for the Courthouse. Motion carried.
New Building Project: Chair Robert Keeney informed the committee he and Shane would be
meeting with the third party Technology Company CCP to discuss the needs for the new facility
compatible with Courtroom use and security concerns.
Public Comment: None
Adjournment: Dwight Nelson, seconded by Dan Timmerman, made a motion to adjourn the meeting.
Motion carried.
**This will be the last meeting as Public Property/Technology, as of April 17, 2018 Public Property will
