BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City Council previously adopted Resolution 2018-254 which set the benefits and contribution rates for which Council members are eligible. In order to successfully conduct business on behalf of residents, it is necessary for Council members to have technology sufficient to keep them connected and organized in a variety of settings. The most convenient device that provides the necessary connectivity and variety to preform necessary duties is a tablet device. Current Council members have all been issued a new iPad with the start of the term in December 2020. At this time, the only proposed modification to City Council member benefits is to formalize that the City will provide one iPad or equivalent device to Council members per term. During the Council member's term, the device is to be used for official business only. Upon completion of each term, the Council member is required to return the device to the City so it can be wiped by the City's Information Technology Manager. The process of wiping the device ensures the security of the City's network and is the same process the City employs on all work related devices. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no additional cost to approval of this item. Council members are already supplied with an iPad. The approval should result in reduced staff time disposing of surplus iPads and provide clarity to both staff and Council on the requirements surrounding an iPad for outgoing Councilmembers.
