Item 4F -Cisco Security SuiteCITY OF MEMORANDUM SOUTHLA.KE March 3, 2020 To: Shana Yelverton, City Manager From: Sharen Jackson, Chief Financial Officer Subject: Item 4F: Approve the purchase of Cisco Security Suite from Presidio in an amount not to exceed $81,500. Action Requested: Approve the purchase and implementation of the Cisco Security Suite.
