the renewal of a Comprehensive Telecommunication Services Contract with First Light
Fiber (First Light) in accordance with New York State TCS Contract Pricing #PS68696,
Group #77017, Award #23100, and
WHEREAS, the Town’s technology services provider, Stored Tech, has
recommended that in light of the Town’s previously authorized phone system/infrastructure

make this change, and

First Light,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
