Summary
Grand Forks County accepted a state cybersecurity grant to update county networks and approved related service agreements (AE2S consulting, grant acceptance, Granicus GovDelivery at no cost, and Tyler Technology migration) to implement the IT upgrade and prepare for a timekeeping component.
The county commission accepted a state cybersecurity grant to update the county’s IT network and approved several associated service agreements to manage and implement the project, officials said.
County IT staff obtained a cybersecurity grant from the State of North Dakota and planned an IT network upgrade. To support procurement and project management, the commission approved an AE2S agreement for up to $5,000 that had been budgeted in the department’s request. The commission authorized IT staff (Miss Halverson) to sign the AE2S agreement.
The board also accepted a notice of grant award for the cybersecurity funding and approved a no‑cost Granicus GovDelivery provisioning to support public communications on the updated website. The commission approved a service agreement with Tyler Technologies to begin migration and server updates ahead of a future timekeeping component; county counsel had reviewed the agreements.
Commissioners noted minor clerical items in packets (a mailing address that will be corrected and a punctuation mark) and approved the agreements unanimously.
Staff said the next step is continued procurement, contractor selection, and implementation planning; the timekeeping component agreements will return to the commission at a later meeting when more work is ready to proceed.
