Information Technology The Technology Department is made up of two separate, but collaborative divisions, Information Technology (IT) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The Director is responsible for both IT and GIS divisions and oversees budgeting, strategic planning, workload management and quite frequently works alongside the network, systems and desktop staff when the workloads are at a higher than normal level. The two divisions have specific responsibilities and are also given cross‐functional responsibilities by the Director to help each other on a regular basis for efficiency and cost savings. The Technology Department is responsible for all IT, GIS, telephone, radio and general technology related systems and services used by city staff. The Technology Department is responsible for planning, developing, implementing, integrating and protecting all aspects of technology used by the city's internal staff and departments as well as resources used by the public to access important public information about the city and the services the city provides. The entire technology team works alongside all of the city's internal and external facing departments to help create new work methods and processes utilizing technology to lower the city's operational costs, increase work process efficiencies, and find new ways to generate non‐tax revenues so that residents get a very high return on their tax investment.
