DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND:
HHSA has experienced recent losses due to vehicle fuel theft, tampering with exterior lighting system, as well as other suspicious activity at 768 Pleasant Valley Road, and in an effort to discourage future losses and increase security and safety for the site, HHSA is planning to purchase a security camera system.

HHSA plans to purchase a server and associated supporting items to ensure sufficient hardware to comply with the retention requirements.
