<br />WS – Item 8 <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />Work Session Item No. 8 <br /> <br /> <br />Date: February 5, 2018 <br /> <br />To: City Council <br /> <br />From: Jeff Karlson, City Administrator <br /> <br />Re: Technology Upgrades <br /> <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />Beginning in 2012, every two years following the municipal election, Councilmembers <br />have had the option of replacing their tablet with a new one. They can keep the current <br />one, turn it in for repurposing or resale, or purchase it for a fair market price. <br /> <br />Two years ago the Council wanted the option of purchasing a Surface Pro. There have <br />been problems with the Surface Pro, which are not supported by Roseville IT. The cost <br />of computer support in 2018 through Roseville IT is $63.30 per unit per month. Staff <br />believes this is an unnecessary expenditure since the Council only needs to view the <br />agenda packets and check emails. <br /> <br />Staff’s recommendation is that the Council consider only purchasing tablets, which also <br />are not supported by Roseville. <br /> <br />Councilmember Stoesz may bring up a few other ideas for enhancing the City’s <br />technology capabilities. <br /> <br />Requested Council Direction <br /> <br />Staff is looking for further direction. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
