The Bulletin reports that at a special meeting Monday, the council agreed that the city should spend more on street maintenance as a way to reduce the long-term costs of rebuilding roads. The council did not commit to how it would generate additional revenue. The council’s decision comes after a committee suggested the city spend enough money to increase its rating on a federal road quality index. The cost to increase from its present score of 68 out of 100 to a score of 73 would be about $6 million a year.

Matt Shelby, a spokesman for the Department of Administrative Services, which operates the data center, said the breach “was more of a structural issue.” Shelby said The PFM Group’s work resulted in a couple of changes at the data center. Although the state already had an administrator in charge of security, Chief Information 6HFXULW\ 2I¿FHU 6WHIDQ Richards, security was just one component of the job for data center employees and no one at the center was completely focused on security. “One of the things they found that they articulated to (State Chief Information 2I¿FHU$OH[3HWWLWZDVWKH responsibility for security was spread out over a large number of individuals,” Shelby said. Based on The PFM Group’s recommenda- tions, Shelby said, the Department of Adminis- trative Services reassigned some existing employees to focus on security and assigned the employees to work at the data center.
