Committee discusses council devices but declines to codify a policy

Speaker 1 said Councilmember Britney Kramer requested that the village supply council members with separate devices (for example, iPads) so officials would not have to use personal devices for village email. Members discussed data plans versus Wi‑Fi, turnover of devices and upkeep costs. Speaker 4 said the village has provided devices in the past and that the administrator could provide devices where needed. Speaker 1 noted the administrator has authority to spend up to $50,000 without additional council approval and the committee agreed no formal ordinance was necessary; members asked that the administrator handle device provision under existing authority.
