Cook council approves laptops and firewalls, seeks local IT support
Council authorized purchasing laptops for council members (not to exceed $4,000) and two firewalls (estimated under $4,000), and instructed Shaun Hainey to set up devices and recommend local IT vendors while ending VC3 contracted services.
The full story
The council voted to authorize purchase of laptops for council members not to exceed $4,000 (motion by Councilor Ivette Reing, seconded by Councilor Liza Root) and approved buying two firewalls for City Hall and the Liquor Store. Shaun Hainey will set up the laptops before the current contract ends and will notify VC3 to end contracted services; he said he would leave a list of recommended local vendors to handle future IT needs rather than entering a long-term IT contract.
