AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Rescinding Resolution 2018-254 and Approving Benefit
Modifications for Council Members
MEETING DATE: January 6, 2021
PREPARED BY: Deputy City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution rescinding Resolution 2018-254 and approving
Benefit Modification for Council Members.
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.
