Council approves BS&A cloud migration after adding data‑access and anti‑AI safeguards
Summary
Verona approved a BS&A (BSNA) cloud migration with a one‑time implementation cost of $69,400 and an annual subscription of $54,410; council amended the motion to require the city administrator verify that the contract does not permit use of city data to train AI and that data can be retrieved in a non‑proprietary format.
The Verona Common Council approved a contract to migrate the city's BS&A financial systems to a cloud environment, with staff citing an implementation cost of $69,400 and an ongoing annual subscription of $54,410 (first‑year cost estimated at $123,810). Council discussed data ownership, backup procedures and downtime contingencies with the city's IT provider and a DeKind senior network engineer in attendance.
Alder Tucker Long moved an amendment requiring the city administrator to confirm that the vendor contract neither allows the vendor to use city data to train artificial‑intelligence models nor prevents the city from obtaining its data in a non‑proprietary format; the amendment passed and the main motion carried as amended. "...that none of our data is going to be used to train AI or feed AI or sold to 3rd party companies," Alder Tucker Long said when proposing the amendment.
