Selectmen authorized the First Selectman to accept a state cybersecurity grant of $43,844 (80% federal/state funding) to migrate the town to a Microsoft 365 GCC tenant and move to a .gov domain; town match is $10,961 (20%).
The Board voted to authorize the First Selectman to enter into an agreement with the Connecticut Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection to accept a state and local cybersecurity grant for $43,844 to support migration to a Microsoft 365 GCC tenant and the town’s move to a .gov domain. The First Selectman said the award covers 80% of the project cost and requires a town match of $10,961 (20%). He said the town had budgeted a $29,000 project line for migration and that staff would encumber funds to cover the match and migration tasks.
Board members described the migration as a security improvement and discussed two GCC levels; the First Selectman said the chosen level will cover the town's needs and that he will ask the technology committee and staff to help manage the project during the transition. No specific vendor was selected at this meeting; staff will proceed with project management and procurement steps.
