          [Call to Order]
MEETING TO ORDER, PLEASE? MIKE, TALK TO US. THIS. THANK YOU. NUMBER 1218, WHICH IS 
          [a. 2025-1218 – IT RE:    APPROVAL OF AN INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN ONEIDA COUNTY AND NEW YORK STATE, THROUGH ITS OFFICE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SERVICES AND DIVISION OF HOMELAND SECURITY AND EMERGENCY SERVICES  ]
AN ELECTRONIC INFORMATION SECURITY AGREEMENT FOR IT. AND I BELIEVE CHRIS IS HERE. 
          INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY REQUEST APPROVAL OF AN AGREEMENT WITH THE STATE OFFICE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SERVICES AND THE DIVISION OF HOMELAND SECURITY TO UTILIZE ATTACK SURFACE MANAGEMENT TO REDUCE CYBER ATTACK RISKS, SAFEGUARD CRITICAL ASSETS AND MAINTAIN COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITY REGULATIONS. ASM ENHANCES OVERALL SECURITY BY IDENTIFYING, MONITORING AND MITIGATING POTENTIAL VULNERABILITY VULNERABILITIES ACROSS THE INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          THROUGH THIS AGREEMENT, THE COUNTY WILL RECEIVE ASM SERVICES AT NO COST, SIMILAR TO THE JOINT SECURITY OPERATION CENTER SERVICES ALREADY PROVIDED TO THE COUNTY BY THE STATE. AND CHRIS IS HERE. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? GO AHEAD. CHAD, I THINK IT'S A NO BRAINER INASMUCH AS THERE'S NO COST TO THE COUNTY AND THE STATE HAS GOT, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO SEND THE COUNTY OR ANY OTHER COUNTY IN THE STATE SOMETHING THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE VIABLE. THAT'S DEAD. 
          THE STATE HAS NOT ALWAYS OPERATED PERFECTLY. AND THERE'S EVIDENCE IN THE NEWS RIGHT NOW WITH CERTAIN THINGS, LIKE WITH CORRECTIONS, WHERE OVERSIGHT IS NOT PERFECT. SO MY QUESTION IS, DO WE KNOW WHO THE THERE'S SO MANY COMPANIES OUT THERE THAT DO THIS KIND OF THING. HOW DO THEY KNOW THAT THEY'VE GOT THE BEST AND THAT THE STATE IS GOING TO BE WELL SERVED BY WHAT WHAT WHAT DO WE KNOW? DO WE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT THE STATE IS DOING IN TERMS OF SIGNING UP, WHETHER IT BE MICROSOFT OR BROADCOM OR, YOU KNOW, THE OTHER, YOU KNOW, THE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE COMPANIES THAT ARE OUT THERE, I'M SURE IT'S OPERATING IN PART ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE NOW BECAUSE YOU GOT TO GO BY SPEED. BUT THEN THE QUESTION BECOMES NVIDIA. THAT MAKES THE BASIC COMPUTERS FOR THESE THINGS. THIS EQUIPMENT THEN GOES TO THAT SOFTWARE, THEN GOES TO SOMEONE TO PROGRAM. AND I GUESS I'M QUESTIONING WHO ARE THE PROGRAMMERS FOR THIS KIND OF A STATE PROGRAM. SO WOULD THIS, WOULD THIS SPECIFIC PRODUCT. SO IT'S AN ADD ON ON AN ADDED ON. 
          RESOURCE UNTO THE, THE J-SOC. SO CURRENTLY THROUGH THE JSOC WE HAVE OUR OUR INTERNAL VULNERABILITY NOT VULNERABILITY I'M SORRY, ANTIVIRUS MALWARE DETECTION WHICH COVERS THE INSIDE OF IT. AND THAT'S THAT'S BY CROWDSTRIKE. OBVIOUSLY NOTHING'S PERFECT. AND CROWDSTRIKE ITSELF DID HAVE AN ISSUE LAST YEAR THAT IT WAS A GLOBAL ISSUE. OTHER THAN THAT, THE PRODUCT HAS BEEN PHENOMENAL. THE SUPPORT HAS BEEN PHENOMENAL. WE ESSENTIALLY HAVE FOLKS THAT ARE MONITORING THE RESULTS OF SCANS 24 OVER SEVEN, WHICH IS GREAT WITH THIS SPECIFIC PRODUCT. THE ATTACK SURFACE MANAGEMENT, INSTEAD OF LOOKING INSIDE, IT'S LOOKING OUTSIDE. SO IT'S HITTING EVERYTHING COUNTY RELATED, COUNTY RELATED ASSETS THAT ARE OUT ON THE PUBLIC INTERNET. THAT INCLUDES SCANNING THE DARK WEB 24 OVER SEVEN FOR ANY, ANY POTENTIAL DATA LEAKS OR OR COUNTY INFORMATION. AND THIS IS THIS IS BUY THIS PRODUCT IS PALO ALTO, WHICH IS ONE OF THE TOP ONE OF THE TOP PLAYERS IN THE GAME. VERY GOOD. WELL, I THINK THE STATE TWO YEARS AGO WAS AGHAST AT WHAT HAPPENED TO ONE OF THE COUNTIES DOWN STATE. MAYBE IT WAS DUTCHESS, BUT THE COUNTY CLERK'S OFFICE GOT KNOCKED OFF LINE FOR MONTHS AND IT CREATED A REAL MESS. SO I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT THIS FOCUS IS OUT THERE, SO I'LL BE VOTING FOR IT. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY, WE'LL TAKE THE VOTE. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? CHRIS. THANK 
          [b. 2025-1264 – FINANCE RE:  APPROVAL OF FIVE (5) CORRECTIONS TO VARIOUS ERRONEOUS TAX ASSESSMENTS  ]
YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. THE NEXT TWO ARE FOR FINANCE AND MR. CARELLI IS IN THE ROOM. AND WE'RE GOING TO DOCKET NUMBER 1264 WHICH IS CORRECTED. TAX ROLLS FINANCE SEEKS APPROVAL OF FIVE TAX CORRECTIONS. THE TOTAL 12,046 90. ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. CAVALLI OKAY. THERE BEING NONE. 
          [c. 2025-1259 – FINANCE RE:     APPROVAL OF A FIRST EXTENSION AGREEMENT BETWEEN ONEIDA COUNTY, THROUGH ITS DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE, AND VENESKY TRAINING & SUPPORT SERVICES LLC  ]
          [00:05:04]
LET'S TAKE THE VOTE. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED. AND WE'LL GO TO DOCKET NUMBER 1259, WHICH IS AN AGREEMENT RENEWAL FOR WITH FINANCE IS ASKING FOR THE FIRST RENEWAL OF AN AGREEMENT WITH VANESKI TRAINING AND SUPPORT SERVICES FOR ALLOCATION PLANS THAT IDENTIFY VARIOUS COSTS INCURRED BY THE COUNTY TO MAXIMIZE STATE AND FEDERAL REIMBURSEMENT. ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. CAVALLI RELATIVE TO THIS AGREEMENT? RENEWAL. THE COST IS $15,850. 
          CHAD. GO AHEAD. HI, TONY, CAN YOU JUST BRIEFLY EXPLAIN HOW THIS REIMBURSEMENT HAS BEEN GOING AND HOW THIS IS GOING TO AUGMENT IT FOR THE BETTER? WHAT WAS THE FIRST PART? WELL, WE THIS HAS BEEN GOING ONGOING IN TERMS OF REIMBURSEMENT OVER THE YEARS. AND SO NOW THIS IS GOING TO BE A BETTER SITUATION. COULD YOU JUST BASICALLY DESCRIBE HOW THAT IS ACTUALLY GOING TO HAPPEN? I'LL BE HAPPY TO. SO IN ORDER TO CAPTURE A REIMBURSEMENT FROM THE STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ON INDIRECT COSTS, YOU HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THEIR REPORTING REQUIREMENTS, WHICH ARE QUITE EXTENSIVE, AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE A LEVEL OF EXPERTISE. ALSO, MANY OF WELL, THERE'S ONLY A FEW FIRMS THAT DO THIS. THEY HAVE PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE. SO JUST AS AN EXAMPLE, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, LAST LAST YEAR FOR 2023, WE WERE ABLE TO CAPTURE STATE AND FEDERAL REIMBURSEMENT OF OVER $5.5 MILLION BECAUSE OF THE WORK THAT'S DONE HERE. THE WORK HERE IS SPECIALIZED, AND THERE'S REALLY NO ROOM FOR ERROR PER SE. IF THE STATE OR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED PRIMARILY, IT SERVES THREE DEPARTMENTS SOCIAL SERVICES, THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND MENTAL HEALTH. BUT IF YOU IF THERE WAS LIKE AN ERROR OR IF THE STATE OR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DIDN'T LIKE WHAT WE WERE CAPTURING, THEY CAN COME BACK AND AUDIT US AND OR TRY TO RECLAIM AGAINST US. THAT'S WHY WE REALLY NEED THE LEVEL OF EXPERTISE IN THIS. REGARD. WHEN I FIRST INHERITED THIS A LONG TIME AGO, THIS WAS DONE BY AN ACCOUNTING FIRM AND AN ERROR WAS MADE. IT TOOK US A LONG TIME TO ADDRESS THAT BECAUSE THEY CLAWED BACK, TOOK US BACK ALMOST, I WOULD SAY MORE THAN TEN YEARS TO STRAIGHTEN IT OUT. SO AGAIN, IT RECAPTURES QUITE A BIT OF MONEY, AS YOU CAN SEE. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR TONY? OKAY. THERE BEING NONE, LET'S TAKE THE VOTE. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? I'LL TAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN. TONY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
