Ridgetop directs full inventory of city property and passwords, sets hard deadlines
Summary
The board ordered all departments to inventory city-owned items (with serial/VIN numbers) by March 1 and required a separate inventory of computers, assigned users and software passwords by Feb. 22 as part of steps to tighten asset management and IT security.
The Ridgetop Board of Aldermen voted Feb. 19 to require comprehensive inventories of city-owned property and computer systems.
Mayor Reasoner moved that every department inventory all city-owned items including serial numbers and VINs and submit the lists by March 1, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. The board approved the motion unanimously. Separately, Vice Mayor Johnson moved that departments compile inventories of city-purchased software, computers, assigned users and passwords and turn them in by Feb. 22, 2019 at 9:00 a.m.; that motion also passed unanimously.
Vice Mayor Johnson noted the city currently uses an electronic firewall and said the city is exploring installation of hardware firewalls. Alderman Rider asked for more detailed employee daily work logs. Alderman Johnson requested a utility-department report on how many meters were replaced and associated replacement costs.
The inventories are administrative actions intended to improve asset tracking and support forthcoming budget decisions; the board set concrete deadlines rather than deferring to later workshops.
