Sunnyside City Council Approves Server Equipment Purchase and Investment Pool Resolution
The Sunnyside City Council discussed and approved the purchase of a server rack UPS replacement from CDW-G for a cost not to exceed $12,767.39. This purchase was deemed a necessity to replace the main server infrastructure's UPS, which had failed. The cost will be allocated across all city departments as IT serves all of them. A budget amendment will be presented later to account for this unbudgeted expense. The council also discussed and approved a resolution authorizing the investment of city monies into the local government investment pool, updating the previous resolution to reflect the current administrative structure by assigning access to the City Manager and Finance Director instead of the previous Administrative Services Director position.
