Homewood council authorizes two three‑year ThinkGuard agreements for data backup and disaster recovery
Summary
The council authorized the city manager to sign two three‑year contracts with ThinkGuard to replace the city's existing backup and disaster‑recovery systems; the resolution passed unanimously after committee review (Resolution 25‑166).
The Homewood City Council authorized the city manager on Sept. 15 to enter into two three‑year agreements with ThinkGuard to replace the city’s existing data backup and disaster‑recovery solutions. The measure passed as Resolution 25‑166.
Staff context: City staff, identified in committee as Brandon Sims, presented information about the proposed replacement during committee review and remained at the council meeting to answer questions. Staff said the ThinkGuard agreements would modernize the city’s backup and disaster‑recovery capability; the contracts cover replacement of the current solution and related services over a three‑year term.
Council action and vote: A councilor moved approval on the floor, and the council approved the authorization in committee and at final vote. The item was reported as passing in committee and then adopted by the full council; minutes recorded the final vote as 9–0 after a committee roll‑call clarification. The resolution authorizes the city manager to sign the two three‑year ThinkGuard agreements.
Next steps: With council authorization, city staff will finalize contractual documents, execute the agreements, and begin migration and implementation planning with ThinkGuard under the terms approved by staff and the city attorney.
