Council defers copier purchase to prioritize IT cleanup and cancels Aug. 26 meeting
Summary
Council agreed to defer the planned FY25 copier purchase and consider reallocating the budget for IT cleanup following a recent security incident; the August 26 meeting was canceled due to staff vacation and packet-timing constraints.
Staff told the council that funds were budgeted for a new copier in fiscal year 2025 and that prior quotes ranged roughly from $3,000 to $6,000. Given a recent IT security incident, staff proposed keeping the current copier for another year and reallocating the budgeted amount toward IT cleanup, security services and recommended remediation.
Councilors agreed to the administrative approach and directed staff to present a reallocation plan if the copier purchase is deferred. Separately, the council voted to cancel the August 26 meeting because staff could not produce a packet in time due to scheduled vacation; the council planned to resume meetings in September.
