BACKGROUND
During past Council work sessions, it was suggested that the City create the Technology Taskforce
to help guide the city explore technology options that could help the city operate more efficiently to
better serve residents. This could include internal workflows/software to help the city operate more
smoothly and/or public-facing tech upgrades – Smart water meters, a City mobile application, Smart
traffic lights, park and trail usage counters, and more.
In January, Councilmember Weisensel, GIS Analyst Aaron Menza, Community Development
Director Lindquist and City Administrator Martin interviewed 10 applicants.
The Taskforce will meet the 2nd Wednesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. Staff recommends the term
end date to align with the other city commissions and staggered term end dates as noted in the
motion. The Taskforce may not meet for the full length of the terms and will only continue meeting
as tasks present themselves.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends appointment as noted in above motion.
