Council approves Tech Region IT services estimate at $14.40 per month
Summary
Gunnison City Council approved an estimate from Tech Region to provide citywide IT services, billed at $14.40 per month; details on police-department cost-sharing were left for further coordination with the police board.
Gunnison City Council on Aug. 20 approved an estimate from Tech Region to provide information-technology services to the city at a rate of $14.40 per month.
The motion to approve the estimate was made by Councilman Duarte and seconded by another council member. Council members discussed that the contract would cover municipal IT services and the police department’s needs, and would include planning support such as one-, three- and five‑year technology plans and assistance with budgeting for capital technology purchases.
Council members asked whether the police department would contribute toward the cost or receive a rent credit. A council member noted the police currently pay $180 per month in the city budget and suggested the council could either reduce police rent by that amount or show the service as a billed credit. A staff member said questions about how to account for the police contribution likely would have to be taken to the police board for approval.
Councilman Duarte made the motion to approve the Tech Region estimate at the stated rate and the motion was seconded. The transcript records the motion and second but does not include a roll-call vote tally in the meeting record.
Council direction following approval included follow up between city staff and the police department to clarify billing or rent-credit arrangements and final contract terms.
The city did not discuss an exact contract start date in the public discussion recorded in the transcript.
