Summary
The city plans to spend about $150,000 to swap roughly 100 VDI workstations for cloud-based PCs in 2027, avoiding an $80,000 VDI server patch and a $75,000–$80,000 server replacement in 2028. Ald. Reckelberg asked whether the machines could last another year so newly hired IT staff could manage the transition.
