The City of Sheboygan called an emergency Common Council meeting this week due to ongoing IT issues.
The meeting took place on Wednesday (November 6th) and according to city documents, was to discuss “potential action to protect the security of the city’s information technology infrastructure.”
The meeting was held in a closed session.
City documents also go on to say they discussed the potential investment of public funds “for the purpose of conferring with legal counsel for the city” which is rendering advice for the city.
When reached for comment on reports of what is causing these IT issues, City Administrator Casey Bradley told Seehafer News, “In response to erroneous media reporting, the City of Sheboygan would like to make clear that there is no indication of any intentional act by a city employee.”
The city has also posted an update stating that, with the help of experts, they are working on the problems that arose late last week and will give another update on the situation when they are able.
Phone lines are still open and if you need to contact the city for support services, call 920-459-4000.
