Consideration and possible action to approve an annual appropriation of $150,000.00 to Presidio Network Solutions Inc. for Cisco branded IT hardware and software maintenance -- Chris Bryce, IT Director

This item is one of several annual technology maintenance appropriations that are submitted for advanced approval at the beginning of each fiscal year so that invoices may be paid in a timely manner when they are received.

Presidio provides 24/7 support of the City’s core Cisco networking infrastructure, virtual server hosts, and voice-over-internet-protocol (VoIP) phone system.  This also covers annual maintenance on the City’s Cistera call recording software used throughout the City for voicemail and recording phone calls.

All items were budgeted during the FY 2022 budget process. Expenses in the amount of $150,000 will be recorded in IT - Software Maintenance Subscriptions and Support Services.
