Council approves emergency cybersecurity spending after incident; Secure Cyber to provide restoration and monitoring
Council approved an emergency ordinance authorizing contracts and supplemental appropriations to Secure Cyber to address a recent cybersecurity incident and to institute ongoing monitoring and incident readiness. City staff described two components: an immediate network restoration expense (staff reported most of the $250,000 supplemental appropriation has already been spent) and a master services agreement for ongoing monitoring and licensing (noted as $79,400 for the remainder of 2025 and approximately $202,000 annually for 2026–27).

Information Systems Director Troy Anderton told the council Secure Cyber was engaged urgently to assist with re‑architecting the network and that the MSA would provide 24/7 threat monitoring and firewall management. He told council: "Most of that has already been spent" when explaining the $250,000 supplemental appropriation, and added that remaining funds would cover hardware or time needed through the end of the year.

Council voted unanimously to pass the emergency ordinance. Staff indicated the supplemental appropriation will be covered by the computer replacement fund and general fund reserves while ongoing annual costs will be budgeted into future IT operations.
