Title
Addition of Systems Integration Supervisor (B)
A reorganization of GRU's Information Technology (IT) Division created the need for a supervisory position to coordinate the daily support operations and manage project workload for Systems Integration. Systems Integration has a staff of 11, including analysts and programmers.
Explanation
In May 2006, the Information Technology Department underwent a reorganization that aligned existing resources, creating three service units; Infrastructure Services, Application and Customer Support Service and Network Services. This was done to accommodate the staff absorbed into the IT department due to merger of the GRUCom operating unit.
The Systems Integration group has eleven employees which currently report directly to the unit Manager. Due to the complexity of duties this group performs (software testing, configuration, training and support), a supervisor is needed to coordinate the internal and external operational activities surrounding technology support as well as coordinating project functions.
Fiscal Note
The fiscal impact of this recommendation is approximately $15,388. Adequate funding has been included in the FY 07 budget.
Recommendation
The City Commission approve deleting a vacant Systems Integration Analyst position (Pay Grade C11) and adding a Systems Integration Supervisor position (Pay Grade M8) to the Occupational Index.
