Dear Ms. McEntyre:
It was a pleasure speaking with you about Reinhardt University and the City of
Waleska collaborating with our Village during emergencies. Our IT Director,
Brad Gomberg and myself have seen the need to send a backup copy of our
data outside of Florida, yet close enough for quick retrieval to ensure seamless
operations.
The Village of Tequesta appreciates your willingness to accept and hold 2 -3
cassettes of important and vital Village data for safekeeping purposes. This
approach will provide a secure mechanism for our records should the Village
suffer significant damage and allow us to quickly resume daily operations
immediately following an emergency.
Attached for your approval is a Memorandum of Understanding to accept and
hold our cassettes. Please review and let me know if the agreement is
acceptable to you and your management team. I look forward to our professional
relationship and may stop by in July when I am in the area.
Sincerely,
A 01,
Lori McWilliams, CMC
