City staff seek approvals for employee clinic amendment, software renewals and modest water/sewer rate change
Summary
City staff previewed consent‑agenda items including a 5% increase in the near‑site clinic contract, several IT/cybersecurity software renewals totaling several hundred thousand dollars, and a small combined water and sewer monthly rate impact for residents.
City staff presented consent‑agenda items that will come to a Brentwood commission meeting for approval, including a near‑site clinic contract amendment, multiple IT and cybersecurity software renewals, and routine water and sewer rate adjustments.
Staff described an amendment to a contract with Premise Health Employer Solutions LLC to continue a near‑site clinic as part of the employee wellness program. The vendor's rate rises 5 percent in 2025; staff said the partial‑year timing in 2025 (an 11‑month basis in the prior year vs. 12 months in 2026) makes the first full year look larger. Staff provided a total estimated annual cost for the program of about $266,865 and said the amendment also adds coverage for part‑time employees.
On IT and cybersecurity, staff outlined several renewals and their purpose and costs: Mimecast (email security and advanced features) at roughly $76,751; Pure Storage (networked storage and rapid restore capability) under the NASPO cooperative at approximately $236,000 for a three‑year term; ThreatLocker (application allowlist/control) at about $54,677; and Arctic Wolf (24/7 security monitoring and managed detection) at about $278,178.75. Staff explained Pure Storage maintains “air‑gapped” backups that require two staff calls and PIN codes to delete backups, a protection intended to prevent a ransomware actor from deleting backup copies. Staff said software and vendor purchases were procured through cooperative purchasing contracts where applicable.
Staff also described a routine second‑reading consideration of monthly water and sewer rates. They said the combined residential impact on monthly bills is in the low dollars per month (staff cited a range and noted the combined impact from 2026–2029). Staff said the city’s combined rate impact is in the middle of comparable communities. No final votes on these consent items were recorded in the briefing; the items were presented for consideration on an upcoming regular meeting consent agenda.
