SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Matthew Osburn, IT Director, will provide a brief overview of the Information Technology Department budget, projects and responsibilities.
*This presentation is the first of a planned ongoing series of department operations reporting.
• The purpose of the presentations is to give council a venue to learn and inquire about to day-to-day citywide operations, status updates, budgetary trends, performance metrics, and future resource and programming requests.
• Management also views regular, ongoing operations reporting as a necessary precursor to biennial budgeting, which is contemplated for 2023-2024, pending discussions with Council.
• Management is attempting to incorporate some of these presentations into Council regular-agendas when time permits, so as to leave available work session-evenings open for other topics
• Presentations will typically span twenty to sixty minutes. Management anticipates that longer, more complex presentations will be scheduled for work sessions.
• Previously, various departments have submitted reports on a fairly regular basis. This presentation-approach is meant to directly engage Council, and to enable a lower-altitude view of operations outside of the October budget workshop schedule.
• Management plans for a Finance Department presentation on March 16th during the regular agenda, time permitting.
