She noted that at a previous meeting there was information presented to the council <br />109 indicating why these services remain the best value for the City. As for the JPA document, it has <br />110 been thoroughly reviewed including by the City's attorney. It is expected to take most of 2021 to <br />111 transition to the JPA but it would be effective as of January 2, 2021. Staff is recommending that the <br />112 council authorize entering into the JPA for City IT services. <br />113 Mayor Rafferty remarked that he's seen the services and level of technology needed by the City and <br />114 provided by Metro INET change over the course of years. <br />115 Councilmember Stoesz asked about facilities to be used; will the offices and data center remain at <br />116 Roseville. If expansion of those facilities is required, how can the City ensure it is treated equitably <br />117 (not subsidizing Roseville facilities with Lino Lakes taxpayer money). Ms. Cotton explained that one <br />118 of the issues with the current operation is that there is a lot of space used at the City of Roseville and <br />119 that City needs their space. So she suspects there may be a move to use space at member facilities. <br />120 Many details such as that question will be worked out over the coming year by the board. <br />121 <br />122 Councilmember Lyden moved to authorize execution of the Joint Powers Agreement as presented. <br />123 Councilmember Stoesz seconded the motion.
