March 24 | City of Rogers Council Meeting

The City of Rogers Council held a meeting on March 24, 2026, which included various community discussions and administrative updates. A significant procurement-related item was the approval of a security information and management service agreement for a new scale server project. This project aims to replace outdated storage hardware that caused major network outages in 2025. The new system, recommended for a six-year lifespan, will consolidate multiple systems into one vendor-supported product, improving reliability and support response times. The city also negotiated a cost-sharing agreement with the City of Elk River, which will save both cities approximately $12,000 annually and include Elk River paying Rogers $10,000 per year to host their security software. The council approved this agreement, noting the project will pay for itself over five years and is necessary to maintain system uptime and compliance with security requirements. Additionally, the council approved the promotion of Sergeant Matt Nelson to police captain, but no other procurement or budgetary decisions were discussed.
