The Bartholomew County commissioners accepted a bid of $158,420 from the locally-based CIM Technology Solutions to provide and install the equipment in all courtrooms except Bartholomew Circuit Court. New equipment for Judge Kelly Benjamin’s courtroom was already part of the extensive renovation now underway in that courtroom, county IT director Scott Mayes said.
While the county originally estimated the new equipment would cost $200,000, the bid from CIM Technology came in under that at $155,420, Mayes said. In addition, the county has purchased a one-year managed services agreement for $3,000 that will ensure local courts will have the shortest possible repair time if needed, he said.

Saying farewell: Flohr prepares to leave public office
In the 2012 primary election, Republican voters chose Rick Flohr over Tony London by a 58% to 42% margin as a Bartholomew County commissioner.
But while celebrating his victory eight years ago, Flohr predicted voters had not seen the last of London.
Eight years later, he was proven right. London defeated two primary opponents in June, and ran unopposed last month to succeed Flohr. On Jan. 1, he will become the new county commissioner representing District 3 that includes Jackson, Wayne, Ohio, Sandcreek and Rockcreek townships.
So what advice would the outgoing commissioner give London as he becomes one of the chief executives of Bartholomew County government?
