(A) A new fund, “Fund 97.067 Cybersecurity Grant” is hereby created as Fund No. 8180 for the receipt and deposit of grant funds awarded to EMA/Information Systems.
(B) The new fund will have a negative unexpended balance until all purchases are reimbursed by the Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS). Once all purchases are made and all proofs received, invoices will be sent to the state to enable Howard County to be reimbursed for the same.
(C) Expenditures can be made from the new fund for third party cybersecurity assessment, for VPN MFA, for vulnerability management software, for firewall management software, and for central logging server software.
(D) The life of the fund will be until 8/31/2023 or until the maximum of $50,000 has been expended, whichever comes first.
(E) The fund balance is perpetual until terminated by the terms of the ordinance and the grant award letter from IDHS.
(F) The fund balance should be $0.00 upon termination of the fund, since this is a reimbursement grant fund. Howard County will receive 100% reimbursement for all purchases.
