Council discusses budget workshop planning and home-security system options
Summary
A committee member asked about plans for this year’s budget workshops; a staff member said discussions had begun and staff would consult counsel. Councilors and staff also discussed home security system options and whether systems could be linked to the police department; staff offered to research reputable products.
A committee member asked whether the new city manager had plans for how the council should run this year’s budget workshops. A staff member replied, “We were discussing that earlier today as a matter of fact,” and said staff would continue internal conversations and involve legal counsel where appropriate.
Council members then raised the topic of home security systems and whether such systems can be linked to the police department. The staff member noted there are many home security products on the market and offered to do offline research and provide recommendations. One councilor observed that some systems can already connect to the police department, saying, “But now now you can hook up to the police department. It’s so bad.” No formal direction, policy change or procurement decision was made during the discussion.
