Commissioners are scheduled to hear a request from Information Technology to approve installing and testing a fiber optic cable between the City-County Building and the Saline County Health Department building at a cost of $17.333.33 based on a quote from Nex-Tech. Currently, the two buildings are using separate computer networks. The cable would enable the networks to be merged.

"This change will save money and staff resources over time. Instead of paying for a separate internet connection and other computer-based services in use at the Health Department today they will access the internet via the County internet connection," Information Technology noted in its request.

Other items on the county agenda for Tuesday include the following.

●Hear a National Weather Service StormReady recognition presentation.
