CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION April 2, 2018 <br />APPROVED <br />136 Mayor Reinert and Council Member Maher concurred that they thought the council had <br />137 decided on the $2,400 stipend when this was discussion in February. <br />138 <br />139 Council Member Manthey suggested that $2,400 would be excessive for his needs. He'd <br />140 be more comfortable with $1,000 per term. The bottom line is that he's okay with going <br />141 with less funding. <br />142 <br />143 Council Member Stoesz noted that enterprise grade equipment is nice (i.e. Surface Pro) <br />144 and good software can be very helpful in working. Having a number there doesn't mean <br />145 that it all has to be spent. Director Cotton clarified that there is a need to put the whole <br />146 amount out as a stipend for accounting purposes. <br />147 <br />148 There was recognition that everyone may use the equipment differently. <br />149 <br />150 Mayor Reinert remarked that he sees the number is a little high but he thinks that $500 a <br />151 year is reasonable. <br />152 <br />153 Director Cotton remarked that several council members are still within their range of <br />154 depreciation and would have to sacrifice their current device (for reallocation to staff) in <br />155 order to purchase anything new. Mayor Reinert pointed out the changes in policy in the <br />156 past and how needs may change. <br />157 <br />158 The council concurred on the $500 stipend annually. <br />159 <br />160 Council Member Stoesz reported on his investigation on website improvement. There <br />161 are basically two companies. He noted the cost of about $4,000 per year to update the <br />162 current site. He feels the website should be a priority because it is "the front door" to the <br />163 City. He suggests a subcommittee that would work on website improvements. <br />164 <br />165 Mayor Reinert suggested keeping an open mind about companies that could provide <br />166 services. There are a lot of services out there. <br />167 <br />168 Administrator Karlson explained his investigation of Council Member Stoesz's <br />169 suggestion. He has heard about an update by the current contractor that is fairly <br />170 reasonable in cost and provides better services especially for use by different devices. He <br />171 can see the benefit to a change. <br />172 <br />173 Council Member Stoesz would like to take a closer look at the proposal and funding <br />174 possibilities. <br />175 <br />176 Council Member Stoesz will work with staff and report back. He will also investigate <br />177 longer term the idea of making the City email address more compact and usable. <br />178 <br />179 7. Rice Lake Elementary Playground Equipment Project Follow -Up — Public <br />180 Services Director DeGardner recalled the council's previous consideration of the matter <br />4 <br />
