Summary

County IT staff recommended renewal of the Mimecast email-security contract, saying the service blocks roughly 95% of incoming malicious email and helps protect county systems.

A staff presenter noted an 8% increase over the previous year and explained the cost-allocation formula is based on subscriber counts. Commissioners moved and approved the renewal during the meeting; no further contingencies were recorded in the transcript.
