circuit court. At the same time, the case is sitting at the circuit court level with a pre-existing

AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE IT Systems Coordinator Matthew Weiss reported
DATA STORAGE HARDWARE the Village's primary data storage array hardware is
years old and has a component deemed end -of -life
from its manufacturer. Due to recent upgrades, the component has created a performance
bottleneck creating the need to replace this equipment. Mr. Weiss recommends hardware from
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Nimble product line. The cost of the recommended hardware,
purchased through Meridian IT, Inc., is $45,565.
Trustee Oppenheim inquired if there is a use for the old equipment. Mr. Weiss noted they
sometimes repurpose it, but in this case, it will be recycled as support is no longer available. He
also noted this is a budgeted item.
Trustee Benton moved to waive the competitive bidding process and authorize the purchase of
data storage hardware from Meridian IT, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $45,565. Trustee
Oppenheim seconded the motion. The motion passed by the following vote:
AYES: Benton, Jester, Oppenheim, Seiden, Struthers (5)
