AGENDA ITEM TITLE:
Consider approval to apply for and if awarded, accept funds from the FEMA Cybersecurity Grant for firewall upgrades as a sub-recipient in the amount of up to $52,000.00, including $10,400.00 from the matching grant fund, or take other necessary action. (Chris Cummings)
BACKGROUND:
The State of Oklahoma applied for and received grant funds from FEMA to address cybersecurity for the state and agencies within the state. We are applying for funds as a sub-recipient of this grant. Any award will be an 80/20 match with the city responsible for 20% of the total awarded.
The funds from this grant will be used to address the ongoing cybersecurity threat to municipalities by updating our firewall system here at the City. This will increase our capabilities to detect and block ever-evolving threats and keep our systems, information and customer data safe as well as ensure we are able to continue to provide our citizens with the services they need.
The matching grant fund request for $10,400 will allow us to possibly receive $41,600 in state and federal funds.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approval to accept the funds from the Cybersecurity grant, if awarded.
Fiscal Impact
FUNDING SOURCE:
Matching funds will come from the City's grant match fund.
