Council scraps two IT one-time items after debate over recovery and cameras
Summary
Council voted to remove two IT one-time capital items — a disaster recovery item and a security-camera item — from the preliminary budget proposal and told staff to reflect that direction in the consolidated budget.
During review of one-time capital requests, council members questioned the IT director's original list and a councilmember moved to remove the most expensive disaster‑recovery line item and a security camera purchase from the IT request. The motion to "scratch the 1st and 3rd items" was seconded and the mayor announced the motion passed.
"So 439 is gone," the mayor said after the vote was announced. The cuts reduce the IT department's onetime package from a proposed $910,500 toward a lower total that council directed staff to reconcile in the consolidated budget. Council members signaled they remain open to evaluating critical IT needs later if grant opportunities or new revenue materialize.
