2.5 Telecommunication
Stipend for Cellular Telephones and Mobile Devices. Authority staff have
evaluated the options for implementing the use of cell phone and mobile devices
and have determined that a stipend model is the most effective and efficient
protocol for the Authority and its employees. Under this model, a fixed stipend is paid directly to
eligible employees, instead of the Authority purchasing and owning the devices,
contracting for services plans, and managing related records. The stipend compensates the employee
for the business use of his/her privately-owned cell phone or mobile device. Resolution No. 07-03-A, Rev. 1 (Attachment – Action)
