It’s labeled a $70,000 cost, but could lead to a savings of $1,300 a month. Iroquois County appears to be geared for a county-wide telephone system upgrade. The County Board’s Management committee (Tues) OK’d Ruder Communication Technologies to work up specs for a project that’ll call for re-wiring and equipment. Consolidating equipment data is expected to eliminate an archaic phone system that’s led to mis-labeled phone lines and billing problems. Ford-Iroquois Public Health Administrator Doug Corbett has identified mislabeled connections have resulted in about $19,000 in overbilling. The phone upgrade would provide for a single county phone bill instead of individual department vouchers. An inter-office system would also link courthouse, administrative center office and other county offices in separate buildings. Specs for the work may be ready by mid-April. Bids would be due April 30th.
