Background: Data Information Management Systems (DIMS) has provided El Dorado County's election data management system dating back to the 1980's. In 2009, ownership of the company changed from Premier Election Solutions to Election Systems & Software, Inc. The department began efforts to initiate a new agreement with DIMS three months before the agreement expired; however, the change in parent company caused numerous delays in processing. The previous contract expired on July 31, 2009 and the department has continued to use the DIMS system in the interim period.
Reason for Recommendation: Data Information Management Systems will continue to provide the same data management system that has been used successfully for many years.
Action to be taken following Board approval: The Board Clerk's Office will return the final executed contract to the Elections Department.
