He stated the current proposed budget for 2026 for salaries and wages for the  
court technology support staff is in the amount of $352,893. This is a net  
increase of $26K, with no substantial changes. (Commission Member Conant  
arrived at 4:21p.m.) The consulting and contractual services amount stayed flat  
at $260K for the submitted budget. There was a 6% increase in software and  
license costs, primarily from Axon and Client Solutions consultant. The largest  
software licensing cost is the Tyler Maintenance Contract at $552K. Fahnestock  
stated that Tyler Maintenance expenses are projected to increase 5% each year  
for five years. By year 2030, Tyler Maintenance will release a final 2025 software  
version host. Therefore, the county will have to look into other software support  
systems. The current revenue stream from the RTA sales tax is $1,612,647.  
Fahnestock explained that 82% of the RTA sales tax is allocated to road  
projects, with the remaining 3% going to the contingency. Further discussion  
ensued. Fahnestock asked the Commission for approval of the 2026 budget  
recommendations.
