RECOMMENDATION:

title

Approve and adopt updates to General Policy No. 019 (SBCERA Technology Assets).

body

 

BACKGROUND:

General Policy No.  005 involves the periodic review of Board Policies and indicates that the review shall be every three years.

 

Staff has completed the comprehensive review and restructuring of General Policy 019, SBCERA Technology Assets.  As part of this review, the policy has been repositioned to serve strictly as a governance-level statement that defines the SBCERA’s principles and expectations regarding the stewardship and use of technology assets.  All procedural and operational components previously embedded in the policy will be maintained in detailed operating procedures and guidelines instead.

 

This strategic repositioning ensures that the policy remains focused on high-level governance while staff are provided the necessary flexibility to manage day-to-day technology operations effectively. 

 

This approach reinforces the Board’s oversight while empowering staff to respond efficiently to technological changes and operational requirements. 

 

As a result of this significant rewrite, we have provided both the existing policy and the proposed policy, but have not included a redlined comparison.

This item was reviewed by the Administrative Committee at its meeting on July 17, 2025.  At the meeting, the Committee discussed and recommended the following edit: the inclusion of CEO or designee authority under General Policy Guidelines to adjust measures as necessary to address emerging threats or operational needs.  The Committee recommends Board approval with a 4-0 vote.
