Decision details

To consider allocating funding to allow the relocation of Boston Borough Council’s ICT server room to South Holland District Council.

RESOLVED:

That, in order to invest in aging ICT infrastructure and to allow the relocation of the ICT server room to South Holland District Council, the Cabinet approve the addition of £120,000 to the Capital Programme and, if required, £20,000 to the revenue budget, to be financed from the Capital Reserve, and to note the implications for future year’s budgets.

The report outlines several risks to the Borough Council regarding its existing ICT server room. The recommendation supports the most cost-effective solution to removing those risks.

Several options were considered and are outlined in the body of the report.
