In plain language — from the agenda backup

The city wants to renew and beef up its contract with Carahsoft for Cellebrite tools — hardware, software, and services APD uses to extract and analyze data from digital devices. The amendment adds $275,400 and extends the deal another year, bringing the total to no more than $733,400. Of that, $75,000 is covered in APD's current operating budget, while the rest depends on funding council approves in future budgets.
