Harlan City approves vehicle-tracking policy; administrator says equipment already installed
Summary
Harlan City council adopted Resolution 26-17 on Sept. 16 approving a vehicle-tracking policy covering listed city vehicles. City Administrator Jarvis Manja said tracking equipment is already in place and access will be limited to specified staff.
Harlan City’s council voted unanimously on Sept. 16 to adopt Resolution 26-17, a new vehicle-tracking policy for city vehicles. City Administrator Jarvis Manja said the policy is complete and that "the equipment's already installed on all the vehicles that were listed in there."
The policy establishes who may access tracking data and places limits on use, Jarvis Manja said, and he noted that logins will be restricted "so we're gonna limit the access." During discussion, a council member asked whether the resolution should remove the specific vendor name (Verizon Connect) and instead refer generically to a "vehicle tracking service" so the city could change vendors without returning to the council. Manja and other staff confirmed the version presented to the council followed the original draft previously circulated.
Council members moved and seconded the resolution; the motion carried on a roll-call vote. The council also noted in discussion that a signed document from a city contact (identified in the meeting record as Alex) indicated there would be no city maintenance cost for the vendor contract going forward, as presented to council.
The council’s vote follows staff reports that the policy and associated equipment installations are in place. The resolution was moved by Lindbergh and seconded by Shaben and approved by roll call.
