The City of Oxnard's Finance & Governance Committee discussed and recommended approval for a first amendment to the professional services agreement with Core 1 LLC, extending the contract value to $900,000 through June 30, 2027.

These services support multiple city departments including police, fire, and public works, aiding in technology modernization, cybersecurity remediation, and maintaining operational continuity. The funding for these services is included in the IT department's FY26 budget, with future funding to be incorporated in upcoming budget processes, ensuring continued support without additional appropriations.
