Freestone County Commissioners awarded the bid on county management software to a company called Local Government Solutions.
The commissioners made that decision at their July 17 meeting, when they also opened bids on county medical insurance; agreed to buy a brush cutter for a little over a quarter of a million dollars; agreed to buy security cameras for the new Tax Office; and made other decisions about the county’s funds and well-being.
As for the county management software, the county had previously received bids from two companies on the matter: one from LGS and the other from I-Docket. Dane McBroom, the county’s IT specialist, told the court that the unanimous decision by all the department heads who studied the matter was that the LGS program would better fit the needs of Freestone County. Mc-Broom estimated the conversion would be completed around January 2025.
