During the Sept. 8 meeting, staff identified data processing and IT support as one of the biggest cost areas for this year and into 2027, estimating the city could be "over budget at the pace we're going about $60,000." The presenter said the committee and mayor should consider long-term options including hiring an internal IT candidate, continuing with contract services, or a hybrid approach.
Committee members discussed the trade-offs briefly but did not vote on any staffing changes. The staff presenter said the matter will be discussed further with the mayor during the 2027 budget process and that any permanent staffing decision would be considered in that planning cycle.
