Title
Information Technology Department Overview (B)
The Information Technology (IT) Department serves the employees, customers and citizens of both General Government (GG) and Gainesville Regional Utilities (GRU).
Explanation
GRU's Information Technology Department was formally funded in 1984 making the Department 30 years old this Fall.
Much like other core services of GRU and GG - roads, electric lines and water pipes - the infrastructure built and maintained by Information Technology is complex and requires planning and maintenance. The IT infrastructure allows staff to communicate with and serve our customers and each other.
The presentation will provide an overview of the Department's workload, breadth of responsibility, the things that drive the Department's work, and some of the risks and challenges faced by IT.
Fiscal Note
None.
Recommendation:
The City Commission hear a presentation from staff about the workload of and services provided by the Information Technology Department.
