County says Bug Tussel connections complete for county sites; $97,500 cybersecurity grant approved

Oneida County Executive Committee · July 15, 2026

Summary

IT staff reported Bug Tussel connectivity is in place for requested county sites and work is underway to add them to the county phone system; the committee approved a $97,500 State and Local Cybersecurity Grant to support security updates.

Hartman and IT Director Jason Rhodes reported the county has completed Bug Tussel connectivity to requested county sites, that connected sites are on the county system and have Wi‑Fi, and that work is underway to add those sites to the county phone system. Rhodes said portions of Minocqua and Three Lakes are now live and that the county should see increased customers at connected locations.

Rhodes told the committee the county secured a State and Local Cybersecurity Grant (2023‑SLCGP‑01‑14690) for $97,500 to support security updates; he said the grant will reduce projected costs in the 2027 budget. On a motion by Dan Hess, seconded by Russ Fisher, the committee approved acceptance of the grant and authorized the County Board Chair to sign the award documentation.
