The committee approved buying nine tablets for $3,241.71 to replace 2019 devices, funded from the remaining Cable TV Fund (Fund 865) and the 2026 Cable TV budget; Javis Industries will program the devices at no extra cost. The motion passed 3–0.
The Finance Committee voted Aug. 4, 2026 to buy nine new tablets for City Council meetings, replacing devices bought in 2019 that no longer connect to the server. The committee approved spending $3,241.71 for the devices (nine tablets at $360.19 each); the purchase will be covered by the remainder of Fund 865 (Cable TV) and the 2026 budgeted Cable TV account. The motion carried 3–0 (moved by Bob Chapman; second by Mike Cypert).
The Clerk/Treasurer explained that the existing iPads' Apple IDs are no longer functional and the devices cannot support necessary server connections. She said Javis Industries will program the new tablets under their managed services at no additional cost. She also noted a camera for recording monthly council meetings was purchased from these funds for $300 and estimated the remaining Cable TV budget would be approximately $3,047 and returned to the general fund at the end of 2026.
