Town staff moved to accept a $325,000 grant from RIEMA to migrate the town's Microsoft 365 services from a commercial tenant to a government tenant, a step staff said is necessary to meet CJIS requirements and ensure secure law-enforcement connectivity.
A staff member described the breakdown as a $260,000 federal share and a $65,000 state share and said the funding will pay for three years of Microsoft licenses, third-party migration costs and IT administrative training and support. Staff warned that future fiscal-year budgets will need to include ongoing license costs an estimated $60,000–$70,000 per year after the grant term.
