7.3 CeII Phones <br />The City of Lino Lakes recognizes that cell phones and smart phone devices are tools needed to <br />efficiently conduct City business. Issuance of a City -owned cell phone or the payment of a cell <br />phone stipend serves a public purpose in providing employees with the ability to more effectively <br />perform job- related duties in providing service to residents. <br />The City Administrator or department director will determine which positions require a cell <br />phone and whether the needs are best served through issuance of a City -owned cell phone or <br />through a City -paid taxable monthly stipend for using their personal cell phones. An employee <br />who has been provided a City -owned mobile device must have it available during business hours, <br />emergency responses, and other times as required. <br />A taxable monthly stipend of $30 will be provided to employees who use their personal smart <br />phone and need to remotely access network information and respond to email while out of the <br />office. <br />Employees who are provided a monthly stipend are responsible for all costs associated with the <br />purchase, maintenance, replacement, and upgrade of their mobile device and for the cost of <br />personal cellular service agreements. <br />31 <br />
