County to discuss network expansion

Douglas County Commissioners on Monday will consider approving expanding the computer fiber network lines to several satellite offices.

According to a memo from Pam Madl, assistant county administrator, the county’s public works shop and the South Lawrence satellite office, 2108 W. 27th St., need faster access to the county’s data stored downtown. The county also wants to use the Dreher Building at the Douglas County 4-H Fairgrounds as a backup or disaster recovery site, so the site needs more network connectivity.

The meeting will be 8:30 a.m. at the Douglas County Courthouse, 1100 Mass.

Because county election officials will use the commission chamber on the second floor for the final hours of advance voting Monday, the meeting will be in the county administrator’s office next door to the chamber.
