MONROE - During a meeting Monday, the City of Monroe Finance and Taxation Committee:
• Discussed the city's technology/computer systems and authorized Ad Hoc Technology Committee Chairman Rob Jacobson to investigate further the possibility of having a study done.
• Discussed and approved a Water Utility Identity Theft Prevention Program.
• Discussed and approved a City of Monroe Identity Theft Prevention Program.
• Discussed and authorized the Police Department to purchase a replacement Dispatch Recording System, a non-budgeted item. Chief Fred Kelley said the system was about 8.5 to 9 years old, and had "crashed." The system is used to record phone and radio calls, and therefore replacement was imperative. The Department has $6,235 in capital funds, and Kelley requested about $3,000 from the department's vehicle leasing account be transferred to the capital account to cover the remaining cost of about $8,690.
• Discussed the city's capital purchase procedures and recommended to council to set a policy of individual purchases over $10,000 from capital accounts to be approved by Council. The agenda item was presented by Alderman Thurston Hanson.
