AGENDA ITEM 3D STAFF ORIGINATOR: Linda Waite Smith DATE: March 15, 1999 for March 22, 1999 TOPIC: Consider Adoption of Resolution No 99 -16 Appointing Y2K Coordinator for City of Lino Lakes VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 BACKGROUND: The City's umbrella insurance coverage through the League of Minnesota Cities does not include coverage for problems resulting from the so- called Y2K bug in computer systems. Limited coverage is available and expanded coverage may later be available if the City engages in a comprehensive, documented planning effort to identify possible problems, make corrections where possible and develop contingency plans to deal with unforeseen problems. City staff has been working for several months on just such a comprehensive plan, including documentation of efforts. To qualify for additional insurance coverage through LMCIT, the City needs to formally appoint a Y2K Coordinator and forward a copy of the resolution to LMCIT. The attached resolution names Police Sergeant Kent Stregge the Y2K Coordinator for the City. Sgt. Stregge has attended training on Y2K planning and has been the lead staff person in charge of the Police Department's Y2K activities. As Y2K Coordinator for the City, he will coordinate the ongoing efforts of all City departments and ensure that documentation meets LMCIT requirements. OPTIONS: 1. Adopt Resolution 99 -16 appointing Police Sergeant Kent Stregge the Y2K Coordinator for the City of Lino Lakes and direct staff to forward a copy of the resolution to LMCIT. 2. Modify Resolution 99-16 to appoint another City employee as the City's Y2K coordinator and direct staff to forward a copy of the resolution to LMCIT. 3. Do not adopt a resolution appointing a Y2K Coordinator for the City. RECOMMENDATION: 1. Adopt Resolution 99 -16 appointing Police Sergeant Kent Stregge the Y2K Coordinator for the City of Lino Lakes and direct staff to forward a copy of the resolution to LMCIT.
