BUDGET & FINANCE
IT Security
Assessment
In September of 2017, the Town
offered Information Technology
(IT) Security Training for all em-
ployees to help build IT security
awareness.
As a follow-up to the training and
in light of the ongoing security
threats, the IT Department enlist-
ed the services of SeNet Interna-
tional Corporation, to perform a
comprehensive IT system configu-
ration and security assessment of
critical infrastructure.
SeNet has started reviewing the
Town’s security practices and
policies and will be offering sug-
gestions based on Morrisville’s
specific needs and industry best
practices. The goal of the partner-
ship is to better protect the Town
computing resources.
On October 24, Town Council accepted the presentation
of the Certified Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for
FY2017. The Town received an unqualified (clean)
opinion from Cherry Bekaert that the financial statements
present fairly, in all material aspects, the financial position
of the activities for the Town of Morrisville.
As of the close of the current fiscal year, the Town of
Morrisville’s governmental funds reported a combined
ending fund balance of $41,282,874, an increase of
$11,275,171 over the prior year. The Town maintained its
AAA bond rating with Standards and Poor’s and Fitch and
its Aaa rating by Moody’s
Mobile Computing Improvements
The mobile computing environment in
the Town’s fire trucks was reconfigured
this quarter. Changes included updated
data communications, extended wire-
less capabilities and new laptops in all
of the firetrucks.
The laptops can be undocked from the
keyboard to serve as a tablet for field
related work. This is a new design for
the department that will allow for addi-
tional functionality.
