In this option, 42 Councilmembers would purchase a device of their choosing and would be able to use for 43 personal reasons. Once the Councilmember left office he/she would retain ownership. 44 Devices would have to be compatible with city programs/technology. If a device was lost, 45 broken or stolen, the Councilmember would be financially responsible to replace or repair it. 46 If a Councilmember leaves office before his/her term is completed, he/she would be expected 47 to reimburse the City at a pro-rated rate. 48 3.Councilmembers could purchase a device of their choosing and would have full rights of 49 ownership.
