Summary
Town Clerk Robina Ward told the board the town needs three official cell phones (Supervisor, Town Clerk, Highway Superintendent) for authentication and emergency use; estimate $138.69 per month and expense covered under the 2025 contractual budget.
Town Clerk Robina Ward raised the need for official town cell phones at the April 23 special meeting, saying officials are currently using personal devices for authentication on official sites and in emergencies.
Ward presented an estimate that three basic iPhone 15s with a basic plan would cost about $138.69 per month. She recommended the phones be assigned to the Supervisor, the Town Clerk and the Highway Superintendent for emergency access and official authentication. The board determined a separate motion was not necessary because the expenditure is covered in the 2025 contractual budget.
