Attorney says city is seeking $25,000 each for IT and HR; board will examine options
Summary
The port authority's attorney reported the city told the port to pay $25,000 a year each for IT and HR support; the attorney recommended forming a subcommittee to examine options and report back, noting the port currently pays about $10,000 a year to the controller.
During his report, the port authority's attorney told the board the city has taken the position that the port should pay $25,000 annually for IT support and $25,000 annually for HR services that the city provides.
The attorney described that request as "a little unusual" given the port currently pays roughly $10,000 a year to the controller and uses controller services frequently. He recommended the board consider appointing a subcommittee to investigate options (hourly billing, contracting, or continuing with city services) and report back to Amber LePage at the city.
Board members agreed that having a small board review would be appropriate; the chair suggested appointing Member Kim to the subcommittee for her HR knowledge. The attorney said he would ask the president to appoint the subcommittee and would report the board's interest to city staff.
The transcript does not record a formal vote to create the subcommittee; the attorney said he would move forward by informing the city that the board is "looking into its options."
