The Information Technology Department (IT) works with all City Departments in an effort to make effective use of technology, to provide users with service and support and to ensure the availability and reliability of computer systems. IT maintains a robust enterprise network and telephone system as well as the underlying infrastructure. As a strategic partner with all departments, the Information Technology Department plans for technology initiatives and funding needs for the next ten (10) years as part of its Information Technology (IT) Strategic Plan. The IT Strategic Plan further shows how tightly technology is integrated into the work environment and provides direction for future replacements and improvements to continually enhance the services provided to the public.
