SUMMARY:
The County of Monterey Information Technology Department (ITD) is embracing information and telecommunication technologies as a strategic enabler. Embedding technology as a critical and fundamental component in all that the County does, while ensuring its use and application are aligned with and supportive of the efficient and responsive delivery of services to all of the County's constituents.
The ITD vision is to foster the use of proven "state of the practice" information and telecommunications technologies in the most strategic, cost effective, and efficient ways possible to support internal County operations, and business activities delivering quality services with trained, self-motivated and capable professionals in an empowering environment.
Beginning in Fiscal Year (FY) 2011-12, ITD implemented a Cost Allocation model to be self sufficient fiscally and did not rely on the County General Funds for support. As a result of this change and the budget constraints, there has been a re-evaluation of the service delivery process and the growing needs of the County Departments. Although budget reductions have impacted nearly every department within the County of Monterey, the need for ITD services for implementations, upgrades, and automation have continued to grow.
This re-organization effort will be accomplished in phases. The initial phase is to re-align the IT Department into six (6) Division areas: Administration, Security, Infrastructure, Customer Support, Enterprise Operations, and Applications. The benefits of this initial phase are more completely described in Attachment B.
This re-organization effort will be accomplished without increasing permanent staff positions and will be managed through the re-allocation of current vacant positions and attrition. The approval of the recommendations will support the ITD goals of being a more agile organization with the ability to adapt to the changing conditions, pressures, and needs of the County Departments it supports.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
This recommendation was received, accepted, and supported before the Budget Committee on January 30, 2013. The County Administrative Office and Human Resources Department have reviewed and concur with this request.
FINANCING:
This re-organization effort will be accomplished without increasing permanent staff positions and will be managed through the re-allocation of current vacant positions and attrition. This effort is fully funded for FY 2012-2013. These changes have been incorporated (without increase) into the establishment of FY 2013-2014 ITD rates. ITD remains a zero Net County Contribution Department.
