Deep River Ditching The Cloud

DEEP RIVER, CT — At a recent Deep River Board of Finance meeting, First Selectman Angus McDonald noted a request from the assessor and tax collector concerning the current cloud-based server and problems with the service throughout the year. The request was to return to a server in the office. Reportedly, proposals have been sought of approximately $10,500 to purchase a server.

A recommendation was made to use the remainder of pre-funded re-valuation funds, as well as funds from the tax collector’s budget, to purchase a server, with consideration to allow the purchase to go forward with adjustments to the budget, as needed, at the end of the fiscal year if necessary.
