Mr. Tom O&#8217;Brien of ES&#038;S said ES&#038;S would not agree to the County&#8217;s request for contract terms regarding shared cost of upgrades or specific trade-in terms on future improved equipment. Now, 41 days before California&#8217;s Primary Election, Lou Dedier of ES&#038;S refuses to provide services to Nevada County (software coding for optical scan ballot tabulation equipment) for the June 6 election without a service agreement.
