Perrysburg City Council adopted Resolution 1-2025 on Jan. 7, 2025, authorizing an agreement with StateGuard LLC for cybersecurity data backup and disaster-recovery services in an amount not to exceed $415,059.31 and declaring the measure an emergency.
The council suspended the rules to allow the resolution to be read by number and title only and dispensed with second and third readings before voting. A roll-call vote recorded six affirmative votes and no negative votes; the resolution passed and was declared an emergency measure.
Earlier in the meeting the council moved into an executive session "to discuss specialized details relative to the security arrangements and emergency response protocols for the city of Perrysburg." The council later returned to open session and proceeded with the resolution. The transcript does not record substantive details of the executive session.
The resolution, as read to the council, authorizes the mayor (or other designated official) to enter an agreement with StateGuard LLC for the purchase of cybersecurity data backup and disaster recovery solution services in an amount not to exceed $415,059.31. The resolution text as read to the council identified StateGuard LLC and the dollar cap but did not specify contract length, payment schedule, or funding source in the meeting record.
Council members voting "yes" in the final roll call were recorded in the transcript as Councilmember Fuller, Councilmember McCarthy, Councilmember Redick, Councilmember Van Heel, Councilmember Weber and Councilmember Watson. The transcript does not identify a named mover and seconder for the adoption vote; the motion and second were recorded but speakers were not identified by full name in the public minutes portion of the transcript.
Administration did not provide further contract details during the meeting; no follow-up report date or implementation timeline was provided on the record.
A copy of the resolution and the contract terms are not included in the public portion of the transcript. The council’s vote puts the contract into effect under the city’s emergency declaration associated with the resolution.
