The scope of services to be delivered through the renewed operational agreement includes providing basic IT services including, helpdesk, management of the City’s website, server hosting, backup and recovery, overseeing IT contractors, project management, and representing the City of Chelsea in regional technology efforts, and meetings.
The City of Chelsea will reimburse the City of Ann Arbor up to $32,000.00 for all services provided under this Agreement.
The Chelsea City Council unanimously approved this agreement during their January 24th City Council meeting.
