Recommendation for the approval of a contract purchase order to IBM Corporation, for  
the purchase of program product software licenses for IBM z/OS and software support

CIO Anthony McPhearson noted that this procurement item is connected to the  
mainframe. He said staff hoped to have the Sheriff's warrant application implemented so  
we would not have to renew this contract, but they were unable to implement it before  
year-end. He said they hope to complete implementation by January, adding that this  
procurement will not be needed again next year.

stationary devices used by departments where they will never need to be moved, such as  
in the mail room, security, and other departments.

TRAVEL REQUESTS  
Vice Chair Eckhoff asked why one person's travel request is $96 higher than the other two.  
Deputy CIO Richard Burnson explained that is due to airfare being higher, as not everyone is on  
the same flight. Mr. McPhearson also noted that staff is requesting approval this far ahead of the  
travel dates due to early bird registration being available now, saving $300 per attendee.
