recommendation
a) AGREEMENT - Request approval and authorization for the Clerk & Recorder to sign the third amendment to the Dominion Voting Systems, Inc. Agreement (Misc Agreements 2016-20, 2019-149, 2021-259) thereby extending the lease through 12/31/2033 and increasing the maximum compensation for the life of the contract to $1,872,485.28 (subject to receipt of required insurance documentation)
body
Financial Impact:
Year 11 of the lease will be budgeted in the 25/26 budget in the amount of $52,218.
Background Information:
Approving this amendment will allow Tehama County to continue to use a voting system that has been certified by the Federal Election Administration Center (EAC) and the California Secretary of State. There are currently only 3 systems approved for use within California. The County has been using Dominion without incident since 2016. This amendment allows the County to comply with new State requirements for updated server equipment and will allow the flexibility to upgrade the system at a later date while reducing costs over time. If this amendment is not approved the County will not be in compliance with current Election laws.
