The application window for this grant is narrow, and having a resolution to apply prior to it
opening ensures that the application will be submitted in a timely manner.
As proposed, up to $250,000 of the grant can be utilized to improve cyber security in the City’s
network. This will be through a combination of training, policy implementation, and tool
implementation with a focus on business continuity and recovery in case of an incident, as
priorities earmarked by the City’s Cyber Security Officer and Chief Information Officer.
Environmental Review
This is not a project defined under the California Environmental Quality Act, and no further
action is required.
Council Priority/City Manager Goals

challenges of today’s residents and workforce. Anticipate the future to make better
