Tom Bunn (Information Technology) –

IT Help Desk data – September 2026
• 396 new support tickets were created.
• 93% of support tickets were resolved (368)
• Average resolution time (per ticket) – .7 hour
Key Updates & Initiatives

JSOC SIEM Shared Service Partnership
• Cayuga County is partnering with New York State’s Joint Security Operations Center (JSOC) to participate in the
State’s Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) shared service.
• The shared service will provide centralized collection and analysis of County security logs and cybersecurity
telemetry, improving our ability to identify suspicious activity and potential cyber threats across the County’s
technology environment.
• Participation provides the County with access to the State’s broader cybersecurity monitoring capabilities and allows
threat information to be correlated across participating state and local government organizations.
• This partnership will complement our existing cybersecurity tools and provide additional visibility into potential
threats, allowing for faster identification, investigation, and response to cybersecurity incidents.
• The shared-service model allows Cayuga County to leverage advanced Security Operations Center (SOC) capabilities
and State cybersecurity resources without having to independently build and staff a comparable 24/7 monitoring
operation.
• All outstanding onboarding action items are complete, including Absolute Secure Access log forwarding, escalation
contact information, and initial case management setup.
• Next Steps – Ready to go live the week of October 5, 2026, and begin ongoing cybersecurity monitoring through
the JSOC shared service.
DMV Move
• Assisted the County Clerk with final technology additions during the week of September 28, including wireless
equipment mounting/installation and phone connections.
• Final IT/Electrical drawings have been completed
• Data and Electrical work have been completed 100%
• IT systems are fully operational and tested to support a successful opening at the new DMV location.
E911 Updates
Motorola VESTA (Phone Replacement) Project Kickoff
• The formal project kickoff with Motorola Solutions and Oswego County was completed on August 27 for the joint
VESTA 911 system replacement project.
• Cayuga County’s new VESTA environment will include 7 positions at the primary E911 center (County House Road)
and 5 positions at the Auburn Fire Department backup location, providing redundancy between the two locations.
• Following the recent site walkthrough, project planning is focused on confirming site readiness, network/WAN
connectivity, system integrations, call-flow design, equipment installation, testing, and training. Motorola requires
redundant Layer 2 WAN connectivity between the Cayuga and Oswego host sites as part of the system architecture.
• Motorola's preliminary schedule targets infrastructure and hardware work during the fall, system configuration/testing
and training later in 2026, and go-live in 2027, dependent upon completion of connectivity and other site-readiness
requirements.
• Motorola provided site readiness, environmental, VPN connectivity, and training requirements following the
walkthrough. Delivery questionnaires must be completed and returned for each site before equipment shipment can be
scheduled.
• Installation depends on meeting the required facility, power, cooling, network, and remote-access specifications. These
requirements are being reviewed as part of site preparation.
• I am working with Ben and Oswego County’s E911 Director on transitioning from traditional analog phone lines to
SIP, which delivers telephone service over a network connection, as part of the E911 modernization project.
• I am also assisting with a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Cayuga and Oswego Counties to define
E911 resource sharing. The proposed scope includes shared 911 call-handling capabilities, Computer-Aided Dispatch
(CAD) sharing, and potential sharing of data center resources that support these systems. The MOU will define the
scope and responsibilities for these arrangements to support continuity of emergency communications.
E911 Backup Site (Auburn Fire Department)
Progress is advancing at the Auburn Fire Department E911 backup site. A finalized drawing of the proposed data
center layout has been provided to the City for review and final approval.
• Continued coordination with the Legislature Chair, Campus Construction Management Group, and project
stakeholders to prioritize the remaining work required to complete the E911 backup site.
• Final City approval of the proposed layout is pending. Once approval is received, IT can order the remaining
equipment and begin implementation.
• Work is focused on completing the additional electrical, data, UPS, and supporting infrastructure necessary to operate
the backup center in accordance with the original design.
• Cooling solutions for space are currently being evaluated to identify the most cost-effective option that will provide
reliable operation for mission-critical equipment.
• Bi-weekly project coordination meetings have resumed to improve communication, track progress, and maintain
project momentum.

Next Steps – Obtain final City approval, order the remaining equipment, and coordinate installation and the relocation
of server and communications equipment from the County Office Building to the Auburn Fire Department backup
facility.
Active Projects
Door Access Control System Project
• Upgrading door access control system from System Galaxy to Verkada.
• Will provide a modern-day, more secure, door access control system that directly integrates with our other Verkada
systems (cameras and visitor management system).
• Will allow us to terminate our existing contract with Linstar and move to a time and materials contract with Doyle
Securities saving the County thousands annually.
• We have a few remaining buildings to address; plans to include this in our capital planning (working with Lynn)
• Resolution will be coming in October to authorize a contract with Lantek to address the Mental Health door
installation
County-Wide Network Infrastructure Project
• All logical network design is completed
• Configuration of new network has been implemented at several sites (Workforce Development, State Street, 63
Genesee, CCC, HPO)
• Fiber installation and network upgrades have been completed on the Highway.
• Fiber installation and network upgrades were completed at the Agricultural Museum
• All the hardware has arrived and has been configured and installed.
• Remote office installation of network equipment has been completed.
• The Public Safety building project equipment has arrived and has been installed.
• Once the project is complete it will provide a reliable, scalable, and redundant network infrastructure for the County.
• All fiber relocation work is complete except for the Health Department and Mental Health; working with (Verizon) to
address environmental issues within their conduct. Completed – December 2025
• Network rack, UPS equipment, and network switch have been installed and connected at AFD.
• All other server/storage hardware arrived in mid-October and has been physically installed.
• Firewall cutover has been completed, looking to close out project in October
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Solution
• The county currently owns and operates different systems to accomplish various tasks including Payroll, Finances,
Human Resources, Purchasing, Fixed Assets, as well as many “one-off/standalone” solutions.
• Systems aren’t interoperable which has created departmental silos, and complex processes, and resulted in duplication
of effort and other inefficiencies.
• The county has created a team to investigate various solutions which will result in one centralized system that can
incorporate all the items listed above.
• Several benefits to moving to this system include cost savings, data security, compliance, increased productivity,
visibility, and real-time reporting.
• Time & Attendance requirements continue to be evaluated as part of the County's ERP initiative.
• The project team met on September 30 to discuss the finalized scope. Amanda is awaiting final feedback from
Finance, with publication of the RFP anticipated in October 2026.
• Vendor selection is realistically anticipated in January 2027, with implementation expected later in 2027.
Next Steps - Incorporate final Finance feedback, publish the RFP in October, and begin vendor evaluation toward an
anticipated January 2027 selection.
Resolution Workflow/Agenda Management
• Working on improving the resolution and agenda management process
• A meeting was held on 3/1 to set a demo for the Leadership Team
• Currently working on a demo version of the solution – should have a product to provide to the resolutions team by
mid-April.
• The product will streamline both the agenda/packet management process and significantly improve the resolution
workflow process.
• Amanda Morgan, Kim Dygert, and I met with a vendor (CivicPlus) on 4/22 to go through this product again. We will
complete our workflow, send it to the vendor for a mockup, and request an updated proposal.
• Internal testing has been completed, scheduling demo with the team, pending results will move forward to possibly
purchasing the solution for the County.

Cayuga County Policy Manual
Policy: Gender-Based Violence Prevention Policy
Effective Date:
Resolution:
Objective: Cayuga County is committed to providing a workplace for our employees that is healthy and
safe. Cayuga County supports and stands with New York State in its initiative which requires employers
who seek to do business with New York State as a bidder for competitive contracts must implement a
Gender-Based Violence and the Workplace policy.
Cayuga County’s Policy
Policy Statement
Domestic and other forms of gender-based violence permeates the lives and harms thousands of New
Yorkers each day, with tragic, destructive, and often fatal results. The impact of such violence transcends
beyond the various locations at which such incidents take place and are felt in the workplace. The safety
of victims, co-workers, and others have the potential to be compromised.
It is the policy of Cayuga County to maintain a workplace free from gender-based violence. The County,
in its continuing effort to facilitate a safe and welcoming environment in employment and services to the
community, and in support of federal and state gender-based violence prevention legislation, has adopted
the following policy in furtherance of such efforts.
The County recognizes that gender-based violence occurs within a wide spectrum of relationships and it
is committed to talking every appropriate measure to prevent and/or address gender-based violence as it
impacts the workplace, while also recognizing the rights of victims to have self-determination and the
need to respond in a survivor-centered, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive manner.
Persons Covered By This Policy
This policy shall extend to all full, part-time, and temporary employees, volunteers, and interns engaged
by the Cayuga County in any official workplace capacity. Whenever possible this policy shall be extended
to consultants, contractors, and other on-site providers.
Definitions
For the purposes of this policy, key definitions include:
Gender-Based Violence
Violence or threats that happen because of someone’s sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or
expression, or other related characteristics. Gender-based violence is an umbrella term that includes
domestic violence, sex-based discrimination, sexual harassment, sexual assault, and sexual violence, and
can also include stalking or human trafficking.
Domestic Violence

A pattern of coercive behavior, including acts or threatened acts, used by a perpetrator to gain power and
control over a victim, as defined in New York State Social Service Law § 459-a, including, but not limited
to physical, sexual, psychological, economic, and/or emotional abuse; or the treat of any of the acts as
mentioned earlier. Domestic violence includes but is not limited to family violence, intimate partner
violence, dating violence, or dating abuse.
Sexual Violence
Sexual acts or activities that happen or are attempted without consent, including rape, molestation,
groping, harassment, and sexual abuse. These acts may or may not be crimes.
Stalking
An unwanted pattern of repeated harassing or threatening behavior, causing fear, substantial emotional
distress, or safety concerns for the victim.
Coercive control
An act or pattern of acts, threats, humiliation, and intimidation that is used to harm, punish, or frighten.
Victim/Survivor
A person who has experienced or is experiencing any form of gender-based violence.
Order of Protection
An order issued by any court to limit the behavior of someone who harms or threatens to harm another
person. Orders of Protection may direct the offending party not injure, threaten, or harass the victim, their
family, or any other person(s) identified and may include, but are not limited to ordering the person
causing harm to stay away from the home, school, business, or place of employment of the victim; vacate
a share residence; abide by any active orders of custody and visitation; and surrender any firearms.
Workplace
For the purposes of this policy, any permanent or temporary location away from an employee’s domicile
where an employee performs any work-related duty in the course of employment.
Statement of Confidentiality
The County recognizes and respects every employee’s right to privacy and confidentiality. All
information, including details an employee shares about being a victim, shall be kept confidential to the
extent permitted by law without the employee’s written permission, unless doing so creates a substantial
risk of imminent danger to the victimized employee, other employees, or the worksite. If such a situation
arises, Cayuga County will:
1. Inform the victimized employees of the actions Cayuga County will take.
2. Share information only with the specific employees who need to know.
3. Limit the information shared to only what is necessary.
Procedures:
Many people who experience domestic or sexual violence do not know who to turn to or have had bad
experiences reaching out for help. In the workplace, employees play an important role in providing
support to their colleagues.
1. Cayuga County supports the New York State procedural guidance, which states the following:

•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

•

Initiate a conversation in private and when you have enough time to talk at length, but
only if they want to.
Let go of any expectations you have that there is a “quick fix.” Not doing anything may
very well be the safest thing they can do at any given time.
Challenge false attitudes and beliefs that you may have about domestic or sexual
violence.
Believe victims and let them know that you do. If you know the person who has or is
abusing them, it may be hard to believe that that they are capable of abuse but remember
that abusers typically act differently in public than they do in private.
Listen to what they tell you. Avoid making judgments and giving advice. It is important
to lift the voices and needs of survivors so that they have the support to get the kind of
help that they want. They will let you know what they need.
Build on their strengths. Point out the ways in which they developed coping skills, solved
problems, and showed courage and determination.
Validate feelings. It is common for victims to have conflicting feelings – love and fear,
guilt and anger, hope and sadness. Let them know that these feelings are normal.
Avoid victim-blaming. Tell the victim that the abuse is not their fault.
Take it seriously. If you are concerned about their safety, tell them you are concerned
without judgment by simply saying, “Your situation sounds dangerous and I’m concerned
about your safety.”
Offer help. Offer specific forms of help and information, such as providing childcare,
driving them to appointments or assisting with pets.
Give them control. Abuse and assault take control away from victims. Support their
decisions about who to tell, what steps to take, and what types of support they need.
Additionally, asking before offering any physical support such as hugs and being upfront
about what support you can and cannot provide allows them to take control of their safety
and next steps.
Support and respect their decisions. Remember that there are risks with every decision a
victim makes and there is no one way an individual must react to abuse and assault. If
you really want to be helpful, be patient and respect their decisions, even if you don’t
agree with them.

2. Cayuga County employees who are experiencing domestic or sexual violence are encouraged to
refer to the Cayuga County Workplace Violence Prevention Policy and the Non-Discrimination
Prohibited Harassment (Sexual, Racial, National Origin, Gender, and other forms of prohibited
harassment) in Employment Policy.
3. Cayuga County further encourages employees who are experiencing domestic or sexual
harassment to reach out to a colleague, to their supervisor, to their department head, to the Human
Resources Administrator and/or the County’s confidential EAP provider.
4. The Cayuga County Gender-Based Violence Prevention Policy, upon its adoption, will be
disseminated to all county departments and will be posted on the County’s internal and external
website for on-demand reference.

IT Blackcreek Software Agreement

Authorizing the Chairperson of the Legislature to enter into a consolidated support agreement with Black Creek
Integrated Systems Corp. for the Sheriff's Office Jail Management and Integrated Security Systems
By: Brian Muldrow, Chairperson Government Operations Committee
Elane Daly, Chairperson Ways & Means Committee
WHEREAS, the Cayuga County Sheriff's Office utilizes Black Creek Integrated Systems Corp. systems and applications in
support of jail management and facility security operations; and
WHEREAS, the County has historically maintained annual support and maintenance for its Black Creek SallyPort Jail
Management System and associated systems, with the prior SallyPort support agreement being authorized separately; and
WHEREAS, Black Creek Integrated Systems Corp. has transitioned to a consolidated support model under which support for
the County's installed Black Creek systems and associated integrated security systems is included under a single support
agreement rather than being quoted and renewed separately; and
WHEREAS, the proposed consolidated support agreement includes support for the SallyPort Jail Management System, Watch
Tour Manager, Integrated Control Systems with Bosch Video Management System support, Maxxess Access Control, and the
Managed VPN Solution; and
WHEREAS, Black Creek Integrated Systems Corp. is also transitioning the County's support period from its current January
through December schedule to an April through March schedule in order to better align the renewal and payment process with
the County's fiscal and budget cycle; and
WHEREAS, to facilitate this transition, the proposed consolidated agreement provides support for a fifteen-month period
beginning January 1, 2027 and ending March 31, 2028, after which subsequent support periods are anticipated to return to
twelve-month terms beginning April 1 of each year; and
WHEREAS, Black Creek Integrated Systems Corp. has proposed a total contract cost of $160,792.00 for the fifteen-month
consolidated support period; and
