The confirmed infrastructure spending amount is 27.9 million, covering various upgrades and maintenance costs.
- The upgrades include enhancing the city's backbone network from 40 gig to 100 gig and improving backend infrastructure within data centers.
- A foundational infrastructure management program replaces legacy infrastructure with new, supported infrastructure.
- Maintenance or recurring costs are associated with the upgrades, including licenses, services, and maintenance of equipment implemented over the last two years.
- Funding for out-year support is typically not baseline in the account until actualized, focusing on licenses, services, and maintenance of newly purchased and implemented equipment.

Oh, it's my on hand writing.
0:14:03
Can you detail a little bit more
Matthew Fraser
0:14:05
Yeah.
0:14:05
Sure.
0:14:06
So from the infrastructure, it's a pretty big bucket.
0:14:08
So over the last year, we've had a number of programs that focused on upgrading the city's infrastructure.
0:14:13
Mhmm.
0:14:13
We upgraded the city's backbone network and we took that from 40 gig to a 100 gig.
0:14:19
We also made some upgrades to the infrastructure in the back end.
0:14:23
In our data centers.
0:14:24
So we have a program called our FIM foundational infrastructure management program that's taking all of the legacy infrastructure out of the city and replacing that with newer newer infrastructure that's under support.
0:14:37
Now associated with those programs, each one of those have maintenance or recurring maintenance cost that goes along with that.
0:14:43
Mhmm.

0:14:44
As

part of the capital purchase, we may get licenses or we may get an initial year of support.
0:14:49
When you look at out year support, that funding typically isn't baseline in the account until it's actualized.
0:14:55
So the new needs, funding that we got from an infrastructure perspective, when to cover licenses, services, and maintenance for the equipment that we purchased and we implemented over the last 2 years.
