Council reviews cybersecurity program, staff to pursue July 1 adoption
Summary
Councilors discussed adopting an updated cybersecurity program that focuses on phishing prevention and staff training; members asked staff to communicate existing laws and pursue formal adoption by July 1.
The Chair opened discussion of the council's cybersecurity program, saying it is intended to reflect current trends and "would have formally adopt the cybersecurity part" by July 1. Council members described recurring phishing incidents and urged more robust annual training and onboarding for staff and commissions.
One council member noted specific risks in planning and zoning processes, saying third parties sometimes request wire transfers tied to approvals — "you need to wire $4,000 for this approval" — and recommended protecting staff and personal emails. Staff and council agreed to immediate public communication about existing laws and to direct staff to research code or enforcement changes where gaps exist.
