Parmer County approves AT&T cybersecurity work for election office using earmarked ARPA funds
Summary
The county authorized AT&T Cyber Security to complete the election cybersecurity plan for $27,724.50; Election Clerk Jessica White said AT&T completed the initial assessment and the county has $30,000 of ARPA funds earmarked for the project.
Parmer County Commissioners on Oct. 15 voted to contract AT&T Cyber Security to complete the county’s written election cybersecurity plan for $27,724.50.
Election Clerk Jessica White told the court that the Secretary of State requires counties to maintain an election cybersecurity plan and that AT&T, an SOS‑approved vendor, had previously completed a security assessment for the county. The county had previously earmarked $30,000 of American Rescue Plan Act funds for the work.
Commissioner Kenny White moved to approve the AT&T proposal; Commissioner Casey Russell seconded and the motion passed by majority vote. The minutes reference an attached proposal for contract details and do not list a vendor contract number in the minutes.
The record does not specify the timeline for completion of the plan or any subsequent implementation tasks beyond the county approving AT&T to complete the written plan.
