Council to require monthly cybersecurity training; departments and treasurer report on operations
Summary
Council announced monthly online cybersecurity training for city e-mail users starting Aug. 20, 2025; treasurer and department heads reported on an RFP for banking services, MedStar contract redline, and departmental updates including police crash-data reconciliation and building-code enforcement.
The council announced a new requirement that, beginning Aug. 20, 2025, anyone issued a city e-mail address must complete monthly online cybersecurity training. The training will be distributed by e-mail, is expected to take about 10–15 minutes for the first session and about 10 minutes thereafter, and was described as recommended by the city's insurance/IT advisors.
Committee and staff reports that followed included a treasurer update on a request-for-proposals (RFP) for banking services (documents sent to local banks and credit unions and a process to log responses), progress on a redline of the MedStar contract, and department-head briefings. The police chief reported server issues that produced inconsistent accident counts and committed to reconciling city-only crash figures; the building inspector reported 51 inspections since mid-June with 13 code violations and four reinspections, and confirmed violation notices were sent rather than tickets.
Next steps: training will be rolled out via e-mail and department heads were asked to ensure staff complete the modules; treasurer to continue RFP process with controlled distribution and logging of responses and staff to reconcile the police accident dataset.
