Board approves LEAP Managed IT contract; transition begins April 1
Summary
Mayor Dan Ridenour presented and the board approved a managed IT services agreement with LEAP Managed IT (the transcript also uses the name 'Elite Managed IT'); the contract starts April 1 and the city expects a coordination meeting and an intent to retain current staff with 1–3 on-site personnel.
The Mussey Board of Public Works and Safety approved a managed IT services contract to take effect April 1, the board learned at its Jan. 28 meeting.
Mayor Dan Ridenour presented the agreement, saying the prior IT provider informed the city last summer that it planned to retire and the city interviewed several firms before choosing LEAP. “What you have before you is the agreement with Elite Managed IT,” Ridenour said; the transcript alternately refers to the vendor as LEAP and as Elite Managed IT. Ridenour said the first coordination meeting to effect the transition was scheduled later that day.
Board member Linda Craver asked whether regular on-site support was included, noting she did not see a regular on-site support line in the agreement. Ridenour responded that the new vendor’s intent is to retain current staff and to have “1, 2, or 3 on-site” personnel available, and that staff retention would be up to the employees.
A motion to approve the contract was made and seconded; the board approved the agreement by voice vote and the presiding officer announced the motion carried. The transcript does not specify contract dollar amounts or the vendor’s full legal name; those details were not provided during the public portion of the meeting.
The board thanked the mayor and concluded new-business items before adjourning.
