Why now

- Marion County is retiring its copper-based Plexar phone system for digital, forcing a review of all internet and networking services and vendor backbones. - After a year of presentations from providers including AT&T and Verizon, the county narrowed its options to six vendors and recommended AT&T. - Staff are negotiating with AT&T for a dedicated one-gig fiber line for the courthouse and annex, with the current provider retained as redundant backup. - The November 15th phone system retirement and AT&T's 45-day implementation timeline create an urgent decision deadline for the county commission.

Why now

- The county's IT leadership reported a $5.1 million annual IT run rate, underfunded by $2.8 million, with a $15–20 million five-year capital plan. - Network remediation is proposed at $1.5 million to replace all switches and eliminate the lack of redundancy that caused major outages on August 11th. - A dark fiber line to the North Annex is proposed at $1–1.2 million, replacing a Comcast/Nitco path that fails almost weekly, with no private fiber available. - The presenter urged a county-owned 144-strand fiber ring to provide redundancy for public safety towers and generate revenue, citing Elkhart County's success.
