Establish a New Support Supervisor Position within the Information Tech- nology Division Finance Director Chris Miller briefly summarized this request as detailed in the RCA dated August 11, 2014. Specific to financial impacts, Mr. Miller referenced lines 64 — 67 of the RCA, which were already included in the 2015 City Manager recommended budget proposal; with funding provided by wireless tower rentals. McGehee moved, Etten seconded, approval of the establishment of a new IT Sup- port Supervisor position in the Information Technology Division as detailed in the RCA dated August 11, 2014. Councilmember McGehee spoke in support of the motion, opining that it was needed and well-planned, and needed to expedite services to municipal IT part- ners. Councilmember Laliberte advised that, while she would support this position, she would need to give serious consideration to positions going forward, including for the 2015 budget, and would be more cautious in what was supported for full Ro- seville positions not supported in part by other partners. Councilmember Laliber- te noted that the 2015 budget needed resolution before adding other new posi- tions. Councilmember Willmus concurred with the comments of Councilmember Laliberte. Roll Call Ayes: Willmus, Laliberte, Etten, McGehee, and Roe. Nays: None. h.

Mr. Miller noted that this position was included as part of the Finance Department's two-year plan recently presented to the City Council, but staff was seeking to expedite the hire in 2014, with the coming on line of new park facilities and existing park buildings in ad- dressing their support needs that were not currently included in the IT work plan. Mr. Heiser respectfully requested an opportunity to update the City Council on the ongoing growth of the IT Division within the Finance Department; advantages
