Regular City Council Meeting Monday,April 23,2012 Page 20 Mayor Roe spoke in support of Councilmembers using their personal equipment and reimbursed by the City if appropriate; and expressed confidence in the City's Information Technology (IT) staff to advise of the most appropriate secu- rity and virus systems to use. Additional discussion included availability and type of internet connection; the size and type of equipment if provided by the City and whether it would be ex- clusively used for transmitting packets, without e-mail capabilities; determining the experience of other cities and applicable policies; and how to address securi- ty of personal versus public data. Councilmember Member Willmus suggested, and Mayor Roe concurred, that a pilot program for several members of the City Council be pursued. As an example, City Attorney Gaughan noted past issues with state-owned cell phones and/or use of personal cell phones for official duties and related data privacy issues, with determination that all information became public. City At- torney Gaughan cautioned Councilmembers to keep data privacy in mind and how government-owned data could be addressed and be aware of issues before making a final decision. Mayor Roe concurred. Mayor Roe suggested to City Manager Malinen that he continue to research pol- icy issues, determine individual City Councilmember interest in participating in a pilot issue once procedural and technological issues had been further resolved, and report at a future meeting. 14.
