It looks like those Going Google billboards are really good for something, as the Los Angeles' city council has just unanimously approved a Google Apps deal worth $7.2 million.

According to CNET, LA would become one of the biggest government agencies, outside the District of Columbia, to make the switch to using hosted Google email and application services.

However, security concerns over storing information in the cloud did factor into the process and have so far to be 100% alleviate. Apparently the deal hinges around an agreement with Computer Sciences Corp, a contractor who would want to agree to pay a penalty should there be a security breach.

If the deal does go through it would be fairly the coup for Google and their Going Google campaign. With both the US Government supporting the initiative and the city of Los Angeles joining the Google team, Google is building up an arsenal of big and impressive customers that should make it easier to attract more top dollar enterprise clients.
