City staff reported that the state and local cybersecurity grant program will provide $36,412.50 to the City of La Verne to fund backup and recovery services for the city’s Microsoft Office environment.

A staff member said a vendor notified the city about the grant opportunity; the application encountered state-level delays but the contract and FEMA consent agreement have been received. The grant is described as funding backup-and-recovery services for the city’s Microsoft-based office systems.

Staff invited questions and indicated funds will be used for the backup/recovery services named in the grant consent agreement. The board did not take a recorded vote during the workshop; the item was listed on the consent agenda.
