UM, SO I, I STILL HAVE SOME CONCERNS, UH, HAD A LITTLE BACK AND FORTH WITH THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE.

UM, SO I'D LIKE TO HOLD IT, IF THAT'S OKAY.

ANY OBJECTION TO A HOLD, MR. EXECUTIVE? ANY? I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, UH, THIS IS, UH, A RENEWAL OF THIS AND

[00:30:01]

SO THAT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION BY LEGISLATOR SEAN SMITH.

AND I'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH WOLPERT AND THEIR COUNSEL, AND I'VE ADDED, HAD THEM NEGOTIATE THEM TO ADD INTO THE CONTRACT A NEW SECTION THAT I'VE SHARED WITH THE, THE COMMITTEE BEFORE, BUT TO READ INTO THE RECORD WOULD ADD ADDITIONAL PART AMENDMENT TO THE CONTRACT THAT SAYS, EXCUSE ME, WILL COMPLY WITH ANY REQUEST BY JACKSON COUNTY FOR DATA STORED WITHIN THE CAAMA CLOUD ENVIRONMENT.

USED BY AND WHILE IN USE BY THE JACKSON COUNTY APPRAISAL DEPARTMENT, WILPERT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE ULTIMATE OWNER OF ANY DATA COLLECTED AND RETAINED BY WILPERT IS JACKSON COUNTY.

ADDITIONAL ONE-TIME FEES MAY BE REQUIRED FOR COMPLEX AND CUSTOM DATA, EX EXTRACTS AND REPORTS.

THAT'S THE END OF THE LANGUAGE.

AND, UH, I'VE TALKED TO THEIR COUNCIL THERE AND, UH, TO OUR COUNCIL HERE, THAT'S GONNA PROTECT US IN THE FUTURE.

IF THERE'S ANY DATA THAT NEEDS TO BE SHARED WITH THE AUDITOR WITH ANY OTHER THIRD PARTY, THAT WE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT DECIDE WHERE THAT DATA GOES AND THAT WE CAN SHARE THAT.

AND THEY'LL NEVER, NEVER HAVE TO GO OUTSIDE OF US TO A THIRD PARTY AND GET THE DATA THAT THE JACKSON COUNTY OWNS UNDER THIS CONTRACT.

SO, AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS, THAT WAS GONNA SUFFICE.

UH, I MET WITH THE, THE COMMITTEE EARLIER THIS MORNING AND THEY, UH, RECOMMENDED ADOPTION.

YES.

IF I MAY.

SO, SO WHAT I HAD ASKED ABOUT, AND, AND MY CONCERN WAS THAT THE PREVIOUS COMPANY, UM, UH, I I'LL SAY RESISTED PROVIDING THE DATA REQUESTS TO THE STATE AUDITOR.

UM, MY QUOTE BACK TO YOU WAS, WHAT ABOUT REQUESTS FROM JACKSON COUNTY PLUS QUOTE, ANY LAWFUL REQUEST BY THIRD PARTIES BASED UPON THE DATA BELONGING TO THE COUNTY AND THEREFORE BEING SUBJECT TO A SUNSHINE REQUEST? UM, YOUR RESPONSE WAS, WE CAN'T HOLD THEM RESPONSIBLE TO DO ANYTHING TO A THIRD PARTY.

UM, I, YOU KNOW, AS YOU KNOW, MY BACKGROUNDS WITH THE SOFTWARE INDUSTRY, AND IT WAS MY RECOLLECTION THAT, UH, WE HAD FAIRLY STANDARDIZED PROVISIONS AND MOST SOFTWARE COMPANIES DO, UM, THAT REQUIRES, UM, UH, A, A SAAS COMPANY LIKE DCS TO COMPLY WITH LAWFUL REQUESTS.

UM, I DID A LITTLE BIT OF RESEARCH ON STANDARDIZED POLICIES ON FOUR OF THE LARGEST SOFTWARE VENDORS IN THE WORLD.

ORACLE, SAP, MICROSOFT AND SALESFORCE ALL HAVE, UM, A REQUEST THAT MORE OR LESS SAYS, UM, THAT IF A, A LEGAL REQUEST COMES, UH, INCLUDING FROM A SUBPOENA, UM, THAT, THAT THE SOFTWARE COMPANY, THE SAAS COMPANY'S REQUIRED TO PROVIDE THAT DATA TO, UM, THIRD PARTIES.

SO, UM, I'D HOPE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THIS, BUT, UM, BOTTOM LINE IS THAT YOUR RESPONSE TO ME THAT, UM, WE CAN'T DO THAT SEEMS TO BE CONTRARY TO, UM, WHAT LARGE SOFTWARE PROVIDERS ELSEWHERE THAT HAVE LARGE LEGAL TEAMS AND SOPHISTICATED, UM, YOU KNOW, UNDERSTANDING OF PROTECTING THEIR CUSTOMER'S DATA, UM, KNOW THAT THEY HAVE TO COMPLY WITH SUBPOENAS.

AND, UM, THE LANGUAGE THAT WE HAVE IN HERE RIGHT NOW WOULD PUT US IN POTENTIALLY IN MY MIND, THE SAME SPOT WHERE THE STATE AUDITOR ISSUES A LAWFUL SUBPOENA REQUEST OR THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL.

AND NOW, UM, WILPERT COULD SAY, NOPE, OUR DATA BELONGS, THIS DATA BELONGS TO JACKSON COUNTY.

THEY'RE THE ONLY ONES WHO CAN PRODUCE IT FOR YOU.

UM, THAT, THAT'S JUST, I, I'M NOT COMFORTABLE LEAVING US IN THIS SAME POSITION WHERE WE COULD, AS A LEGISLATIVE BODY REQUEST DATA.

AND WHAT I BELIEVE HAPPENED IS THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION, UM, TRIED TO RESIST THAT AND THE NET RESULT WAS THAT THE CONTRACT DIDN'T REQUIRE, UM, THAT THIS THIRD PARTY, SAME, UH, DIFFERENT NAME ON THE COMPANY NOW, BUT SAME INDIVIDUALS, MORE OR LESS TO, TO COMPLY.

SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHY I ASKED TO HAVE IT HELD.

I HOPE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT IT.

UM, BUT WE MISSED EACH OTHER OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS.

SO MR. CHAIRMAN? YES.

YEAH, JUDGE SMITH, ANY, ANY LANGUAGE YOU PROVIDE, I CAN DEFINITELY GET BACK WITH WALPERT TO ADD THAT LANGUAGE.

UM, YOU, YOUR BACKGROUND'S IN DATA, MY BACKGROUND'S IN LEGAL, MY RESPONSE TO YOU WAS A LEGAL ARGUMENT.

UH, WE CANNOT FORCE A, A COMPANY TO PROVIDE INFORMATION TO A THIRD PARTY.

WE CAN'T CONTROL THEM ON WHETHER THEY SUPPLY INFORMATION BASED ON SUBPOENA.

WHAT WE CAN TELL THEM IS IT'S OUR DATA.

SO IF WE ARE ON NOTICE THAT A THIRD PARTY HAS SUBPOENAED THAT DATA FROM THEM, WE CAN SUPPLY IT TO THEM.

IT'S OUR DATA, BUT WE CAN'T HOLD THEM RESPONSIBLE ON HOW THEY ACT OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTRACT.

UM, THIS, THIS LANGUAGE HERE TELLS EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD IT'S OUR DATA, WHICH WASN'T IN THERE BEFORE AND THAT'S WHERE, HOW THEY WERE ABLE TO NOT COMPLY.

SO, UH, I'M COMFORTABLE BY ADDING ANY OTHER LANGUAGE THAT YOU WANNA PUT IN THERE, SO I'LL

[00:35:01]

YOU BET.

I JUST GOT, I JUST WAS ABLE TO FINISH THAT RESEARCH, UM, AT ABOUT TWO 30 THIS THE AFTERNOON, SO.

YOU BET.

ALRIGHT, MOVING ON TO 2, 2 1 8 4.

SO 2 2 1, 7 5 WILL BE MOVED TO LEGISLATURE AS A WHOLE.

CORRECT.

OKAY.

2, 2, 1, 8 4.

[22184 A RESOLUTION awarding a contract for annual software maintenance for use by the Collection Department to Aumentum Technologies of Niagara Falls, NY, at an actual cost to the County in the amount of $642,563.00, as a sole source purchase.]

AWARDING A CONTRACT FOR ANNUAL SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE FOR USE BY THE COLLECTION DEPARTMENT TO ALL MET AND TECHNOLOGIES OF DAGARA FALLS, NEW YORK AT AN ACTUAL COST OF THE COUNTY IN THE AMOUNT OF $642,563 AS A SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE FINANCE AND AUDIT COMMITTEE.

UH, COMMITTEE ELECTED TO HOLD AT THE REQUEST OF THE EXECUTIVE, I DUNNO IF YOU, UH, JUST, JUST BASICALLY ASKED TO HOLD.

I HAD A VERY GOOD CONVERSATION WITH MENTUM LAST WEEK.

UM, AS YOU WELL KNOW OR ANYONE WATCHING AND LISTENING, WE HAVE COMPETING SOFTWARE IN OUR COLLECTION DEPARTMENT AND OUR ASSESSMENT DEPARTMENT THAT, UH, DON'T TALK TO EACH OTHER VERY WELL.

AND IT'S BEEN PROBLEMS WITH DELAYING THANKS FOR TAXPAYERS AND GETTING OUR DEPARTMENT'S PROJECTS COMPLETED.

SO I WANTED TO START WITH OMENTUM AND HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THEM ABOUT WHAT THEY SUPPLY, WHAT THEY CAN SUPPLY AND WHY THEY CAN'T AND WHY THEY CAN AND HAD A GOOD CONVERSATION WITH THEM.

SO THAT'S THE GOOD NEWS.

BUT I WANTED THIS TO BE HELD BECAUSE I ALSO HAVE A, A MEETING SCHEDULED WITH TYLER TECHNOLOGIES NEXT WEEK TO TALK TO THEM TO MAKE SURE THEY ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE ENDING OUR CONTRACTS WITH BOTH OF THESE COMPANIES.

AND THE ANSWERS THAT THEY DON'T GET ALONG AND DON'T TALK TO EACH OTHER WHEN IT'S 2026 AND THE, THE ADVANCE IN TECHNOLOGIES ISS JUST NOT A GOOD ANSWER.

AND I THINK EVERYONE UP ON DIES PROBABLY AGREES WITH ME.

SO IF WE CAN HOLD THAT OF A GOOD NEWS WITH MOMENTUM, I THINK THEY'RE ON, ON BOARD ON WORKING ON THESE BUGS OUT AND I WANT TO GET WITH TYLER AND BE ABLE TO REPORT BACK TO THIS BODY ABOUT THAT.

ALRIGHT.

OH, THANK YOU MR. CHAIRMAN.

THE SUBSTITUTE THAT IS, UH, UPLOADED INTO GRANICUS, UM, DOES NOT HAVE THE UPDATED FISCAL NOTE AND IT'S ALSO UNSIGNED BY THE, UH, COUNTY COUNSELOR.

IT'S NOT THIS ONE GENERAL COUNSEL, THE ONE I'D HAVE TO LOOK TO SEE WHAT'S UPLOADED.

WE DID SIGN, I BELIEVE THE SUBSTITUTE.

RIGHT.

BUT WE, UM, WE DON'T UPLOAD IT UNTIL IT'S FINE.

OKAY.

THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING.

THE, THE SUBSTITUTE IS SIGNED BY US.

THE ORIGINAL WAS NOT SIGNED BECAUSE IT DIDN'T HAVE A FISCAL NOTE OR ANY INFORMATION IN IT, BUT THE SUBSTITUTE WAS SIGNED AND TYPICALLY I THINK THE, UM, SUBSTITUTE LANGUAGE IS ADDED AFTER IT'S PASSED BY THE BODY AS A WHOLE.

IS THAT CORRECT? MM-HMM.

MARY JOS? YES.

AND WE COULDN'T AUTHORIZE IT.

SO THE SUBSTITUTE THE SUBSTITUTE THAT IS ALREADY THERE, I MEAN, WHAT IS THAT JUST A, A PLACEHOLDER? BECAUSE THERE IS A SUBSTITUTE THERE, RIGHT? THERE WAS, THERE WAS A SUBSTITUTE THAT WAS THERE, UM, BEFORE THEY MET LAST WEEK ON, DID YOU MEET ON THE 18TH ON WEDNESDAY? YEAH, THEY MET, YEAH, THE 18TH, THAT'S THE DATE ON THE SUBSTITUTE IS THE 18TH.

AFTER THAT, THERE WAS ANOTHER, THE ONE THAT'S UPLOADED THAT CAME OUT DATED MARCH 18TH,

CAN YOU HEAR ME THAT RIGHT? SO JUST TO BE CLEAR, FROM THE LEGISLATOR ANDERSON, THE BUDGET COMMITTEE DID, UH, MAKE AN AMENDMENT.

YEAH.

IT WAS DULY APPROVED BY THE COMMITTEE.

THEY DID RECOMMEND ADOPTION, CORRECT? THAT'S RIGHT.

SO MM-HMM .

FISCAL NOTE IS THE BACK END OF THIS.

IT'S AN UP TO, SO IT'S NOT GOING ANY FURTHER THAN WHAT'S ALLOCATED.

AND LEGISLATOR ANDERSON, YOU HAD SAID THAT THE OUTSIDE AGENCIES DID NOT APPROVE MORE THAN 3 MILLION, RIGHT? RIGHT.

SO THAT'S RIGHT.

IT WAS AMENDED TO REFLECT 2,905,000 BECAUSE THERE WERE SEVERAL AGENCIES PULLED OUT DUE TO CONFLICTS WITH OTHER LEGISLATORS.

OKAY.

MARY JO, IF YOU'LL CALL THE ROLL.
