Consider and take appropriate action regarding the continuation of joint District/Town Information Technology Services, various system upgrades, and associated costs for FY 2014-2015. The Town and Trophy Club MUD No. 1 are facing costs in the near future to improve IT security for the entities. Currently, the Town and Trophy Club MUD No. 1 share IT services and cost, including equipment, software, personnel, etc. Trophy Club MUD No. 1 has moved forward with engaging an outside IT firm to perform an assessment on what the Trophy Club MUD No. 1 IT needs are and the cost to split the Trophy Club MUD No. 1 IT services from the Town. In general, Trophy Club MUD No. 1 paid for 50% of the IT infrastructure and uses approximately 30% of the infrastructure and IT services. The consultant and IT Director agreed that if Trophy Club MUD No. 1 were to split from the Town, it would be most logical for the Town to buy out the District's 50% ownership of equipment/software in the amount of $86 -$121k. Trophy Club MUD No. 1 requested more definitive numbers regarding real costs in order to make a decision moving forward, as well as to provide the Council adequate time to make budget adjustments if Trophy Club MUD No. 1 does decide to separate IT services away from the Town.
