Summary
Staff proposed a new in-house IT coordinator (roughly $75,000–$80,000 salary) to handle day-to-day tech help, funded partly by ending a $72,000 contractor arrangement. Committee members debated whether the city should instead hire a more senior, higher-paid tech leader — the Chair ultimately endorsed the hire and told staff he'd support overspending for a stronger candidate.
