Galesville IT Committee previews 2026 IT budget, flags $5,000 police backup request
Summary
The Galesville IT Committee reviewed preliminary 2026 IT budget items Sept. 23, 2025, including three Microsoft Office licenses ($750), a $5,000 request for Police Department backup/support pending pricing from MCS, $500 for asset tags, and $500 for potential website updates; server and PC replacement costs were noted but not specified.
The City of Galesville IT Committee reviewed preliminary line items for the 2026 IT budget at its Sept. 23 meeting, flagging a $5,000 request for police backup support and other small purchases as the committee prepares material for the upcoming budget meeting.
Members noted several specific proposed line items: three Microsoft Office licenses ($750), an initial request of $5,000 for a Police Department support/backup service or system (the transcript records that MCS is still "solutioning and pricing" that item), $500 for asset tags to improve asset tracking, and $500 for potential website updates. The minutes also note server updates and PC replacements as additional items submitted that day but do not include dollar amounts in the record.
Committee members directed staff to take the budget information to the city budget meeting and to follow up with MCS to obtain a firm estimate for the Police Department backup/support solution. No formal budget appropriation or final vote on funding levels was recorded at this meeting.
A final procedural motion to adjourn was moved by Rob Grover, seconded by Chair Jean Seely, and passed 2–0; the meeting ended at 6:30 p.m.
