Council reviews draft AI use policy; requests more work on data security and records retention
Summary
Mosier’s City Recorder presented a draft administrative AI Use Policy; councilors raised concerns about data protection, cybersecurity, and public records retention and asked staff to refine the policy before adoption while permitting limited staff use.
City Recorder Amy Szilagyi presented a proposed AI Use Policy developed after municipal clerk training and guidance from CIS. The draft focused on administrative uses of AI tools and implementation guidance for staff.
Councilors Lydia Koerner, Noah Estes, and Brenna Campbell raised concerns about data protection, cybersecurity, and public-records retention requirements if AI is used for administrative tasks. Councilor Ron Wright asked for metrics to measure productivity impacts. Szilagyi described time savings from AI in several administrative areas, and City Manager Andrea Rogers stressed the distinction between secure information storage and staff use of AI tools to streamline workflows.
Council agreed to continue limited AI use by staff while staff refines the policy and pursues selection of a new IT provider to replace RadComp. No ordinance or formal policy was adopted at the meeting.
